The only person who never bothered to say goodbye was Sagarda. Stella saw him standing a few meters away and staring at her with a longing, painful gaze, but he never said a word to her, and she could only watch as he turned and walked back to their campsite alone.
Stella closed her eyes and wished him the best. Sagarda was a wonderful person, and she was sure that he would eventually find someone to love him like he wanted. But she wasn't the one he was looking for.

"Madam, do you want something to drink? We can stop if you're tired. It's best to rest your legs when you're pregnant. Don't walk around too much, or it might affect the pregnancy. If you feel a headache, then let me know. I have a skill that allows me to give very good massages. Do you want one?"
"No, Stella, thank you. And please don't call me madam. My name is Gina, just call me that."
