We all get shocked, frozen in our places after Bella finishes her story.
No one spoke right away. It was one of those moments where words felt slow to come.
Kalia was the first to step forward. She reached out and gently tapped Bella on the shoulder, and said,
"I'm sorry you have been through this." Her voice was calm and honest.
Bella smiled at her and replied, "It's alright, that happened a long time ago."
"And besides…." She trailed off, looking at me.
"I have Ragnar now~" she said while giving me a cheerful smile.
I couldn't help but to smile back, then breaking the silence, I looked at Bella,
"We can all go and visit your tribe after things settle down"
"Yes, indeed, we can use this chance to unwind a little," Elaris added while clapping his hands.
His face lit up immediately, filled with excitement. Meanwhile, seeing us all show our support, Bella's eyes watered.
"Guys, I'm lucky to be with you~"
