There was no time to question it, not when there was work to do, and not when bringing attention to it would only disturb the peace. Nate glances up above, at the sun, then moves past their host into the building that had been chosen, finding a shovel and getting to work on the holes.
There’s an almost unbearable silence for a moment, before Nate has to break it, turning towards Melita while he dug. ”You said you were living at the bar? That must be where I’ve seen you.” His voice is light, and he offers the girl a smile with the words, hoping he didn’t choose wrong by talking to her instead of Remi.
Nate goes to dig holes!
