Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 606

"Have you had lunch?" Yvonne asked.

"I ate at my parents' house," Bennett replied.

Yvonne said, "Then I'll go change now, and we can head out?"

"Okay," Bennett nodded.

Yvonne went to her room and chose a casual outfit from her wardrobe: a white hoodie, with her hair pulled back in a high ponytail.

The jewelry set Bennett had brought was sitting on her vanity. Yvonne opened the box and put on the earrings.

They didn't really match her outfit, but she couldn't disappoint Bennett.

Without any makeup, Yvonne grabbed her backpack and was ready to go.

Bennett was waiting for her by the door.

Yvonne put on a face mask, took his hand, and they left together.

Istra was mostly flat terrain, with only one mountain range whose highest peak was just over two hundred meters.

As it was the only natural mountain in Istra, it boasted over 90% green coverage. The peak offered scenic views, a park was built at its base, and hiking trails wound their way up the slopes.

"The observatory's forecast of a once-in-a-century Leonid meteor shower has caused such a stir in Istra. It seems like everyone in our circle is going to see it. Mount Crestview must be packed by now," Yvonne said, resting her chin on her hand as she watched the scenery fly by.

"They've already cordoned off an area at the summit for us. The various families have set up their tents there. I had Simon go ahead earlier," Bennett explained.

Yvonne mused, "With all the families gathered in one place, it's going to be a lively night."

"We'll just do our own thing and not worry about anyone else," Bennett said, turning the steering wheel.

"Mr. Thompson, we'll be on our way then." Simon and the driver could see that Bennett wanted some private time with Yvonne, so they both took the hint and left.

Simon had recently started seeing someone, and his girlfriend was waiting for him at the foot of the mountain to watch the meteor shower together, so he departed in a hurry.

After they left, Bennett and Yvonne worked together to secure the tent, inflate the air mattress, and lay out the sheets and quilt.

The air mattress wouldn't be the most comfortable bed, but it would do for one night.

Once everything was set up, Bennett placed two simple chairs at the entrance of the tent, and they sat together, watching the sky.

The observatory hadn't specified a time for the meteor shower, likely due to the unpredictability of the forecast. So, all they could do was wait.

Bennett had hoped for some quiet time alone with Yvonne, but they had barely exchanged a few words before an unwelcome interruption came along.

"Ben! I didn't expect to see you here." Next to their tent was the one belonging to the Taylor family.
