Love is the Sunshine

After Noah left, Carla breathed a sigh of relief. She always felt intimidated by him. She always had this feeling that something would go wrong.

She then scratched her hair. 'Is the juice really expired?' she wondered.

She opened the refrigerator and took out the box of juice. Noah was right. However, what astonished Carla was that the juice was only one day past due. How could he tell the difference?

There was one more thing that concerned her.

He wanted her to be his tourist guide?

Even though she had lived in BH City for so many years, she didn't feel confident enough to be anyone's guide.

Soon enough, Sunday came.

Noah called her right on time at 8 o'clock in the morning.

"Are you ready? I'm already downstairs," Noah plainly stated on the phone.

Carla was still putting on her shoes when she answered, "All right! I'm almost ready. I'll be there soon!" Carla stumbled upon her words.

When she came downstairs, she saw that Noah was wearing a gym suit while he was waiting for her, next to his Land Rover.

He opened the door of the passenger's seat for Carla as soon as he saw her.

Carla had intended to sit on the backseat to create some distance away from him. But with his gesture, she had no choice but to sit next to him.

After they both got inside the car, Carla looked at the vacant backseat and asked, "Isn't Julie going to join us?" She waited for him to respond. When he didn't say anything, she continued, "You see, I'm not really that fun to be around with. You'll get bored with me soon enough. I think you're going to have a lot of fun with her."

As he drove the car, Noah finally spoke, "She has other things to deal with."

Carla nodded. In her mind, she was dreading the thought that Julie might hate her even more after today. She could tell that Julie didn't like her in the past since Noah paid too much attention to her.

She didn't want to officially become one of Julie's enemies, but things were out of her control that day.

Their destination that day was the most famous tourist spot in BH City—the Dragon Temple.

It was said that in ancient times there had been a Dragon King in the ocean that protected the people of BH City. Therefore, the people that lived there constructed a temple to worship and pay respect to the Dragon King. Up until that day, people would come to the temple to pay tribute to the said king.

The temple was located on a beautiful mountain. As time went by, it had become not only a ritual site but also a popular tourist spot. Many tourists were attracted by its fascinating scenery and the history behind it.
