His fingers were pinched red but he didn't want to let go, as if he would lose me forever if he let go this time. "This is a foreign country. When facing illegal intruders, I can just shoot." After hearing my threat, Lucas finally withdrew his hand. Before leaving, he looked back at me every three steps, as if he was reluctant to leave.
