"Are you that afraid of the cold?" La chuckled.


    "You said that we are going to climb a mountain, right?"


    "Yeah! Just get the long one! I''m not teasing you. You are tall, so you won''t look chubby even if you wear long jackets."


    Eric slid the jacket on and instantly started to feel hot as the store was equipped with a heater that was turned on.


    "I''ll get this one, then!" Eric took it off.


    "Buy a pair of winter trousers, too, or your legs will get cold." La stood in front of the shelf and handed him a pair of trousers.


    He epted it and checked the size.


    "Is the size right? I took a random one." La did not know his measurements.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    "It''s perfect." He went into the fitting room with the trousers, while La went to thedies'' section and looked at a few clothes that were of a simr style to the ones Eric had chosen.


    "Miss, would you like to try this one here? It''s the same style as the one your boyfriend picked. A lot of couples buy these and wear them as couples wear!" One of the staff showed La another long down jacket.


    La refused without hesitation. "He isn''t my boyfriend. I''m just looking around."


    "Sure thing!" The staff put the jacket back onto the shelf.


    Shortly after, Eric stepped out of the fitting room wearing the trousers.


    "How do you feel?" she asked.


    "Really warm."


    "Let''s buy this one then! Just put on your jacket and we can go."


    "Where are you two heading?" the staff asked.


    "We are going up the mountain."


    "Oh! Do you need gloves? It''s really cold up there, and you will need gloves, hats, and scarves... We have them all. Do you want to have a look?"


    Eric had already started looking at the gloves, and the snow had gotten heavier. "Does it snow all the time?" It was snowing the night before when Eric arrived. La shook her head. "Not really, but I guess, it snows most of the time."


    Eric opened the car door and said, "Let''s go!"


    La got in, and once Eric was in the car, she asked, "Do you know what I want to tell you?"


    "I thought you were saving that for until we are on the mountain?"


    If La blurted it out, they would not be able to go to the mountain together.


    "Are you really that patient?" she teased.


    "You will tell me whatever you want whenever you are ready. You

    couldn''t have called me all the way here to look at the snow!" Eric had prepared himself beforeing. en.swhovels


    La, too, had prepared herself. "Yeah. Have you seen photos of the mountain beforeing? It''s extraordinary. Even if there''s nothing else here, it''s worth the trip to go up that mountain."


    "The ones you posted on social media, you mean?" Eric had not traveled to Cambrode for fun, so he did not do any research on the country.


    "Of course not! I haven''t been to the mountain yet! The photos I took were just ones I took on the streets here."


    "Did you bring a camera with you?" he asked.


    She shook her head. "I can just use my phone."


    "When are you going home?" he asked.


    ???


    She tucked a ?trand of hair behind her ear. "Maybe in two days'' time! I''ve already discussed my schedule for the next two days with my assistant. You should stick around for a few more days, too, if you don''t have much to do back home. After here
