Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1644

Debra hugged Marion tight, drawing strength from him.

That afternoon, the convoy rolled toward the valley. The area was thick with trees, with no clear paths in sight. The dense forest was silent except for chirps from birds.

Jordan stopped the cars. Everyone piled out, realizing the road ended there.

"What's Michael thinking, picking a spot like this?" Erica muttered, scanning around.

Raw places like this were accident magnets. The map barely showed the terrain. A cliff ahead would force a detour. The thick woods blocked signals, and it'd be easy to get lost. A compass might not even work.

"You guys wait here," Debra said, grabbing a hiking pack. "We've got enough supplies."

She'd expected this possibility but hadn't thought they'd be stuck three kilometers away from the appointed spot.

"Be careful," Erica warned. "It's only three kilometers straight, but with no map, it could take hours."

She stepped closer. "How about I going with you? I've done more hiking and might speed things up."

Randy yanked her back. "I'm not letting you risk it."

"Who else then? You?" Erica shot him a glare.

"Sure thing." Debra nodded, packing up with Kale.

She avoided making eye contact with Marion the whole time. She knew he was worried but could not express it.

When it was time to head in, she finally looked at him. "I'm going."

"Alright," he said. A million words sat behind that one, but he kept it short.

She smiled, took his hand, and pecked him on the lips.
