Torn with uncertainty, she made her way to her own room, craving its solace.

But once there, she felt no relief. An unsettling feeling gnawed at her. She needed to speak to Zayden.

After a few rings, Zayden’s nonchalant voice came through the phone.

“yihat’s up?”

In a rush, Sadie said, “Holden’s onto something. I need your help now more than ever. I’ll do whatever

it takes!”

The following morning, Ariana and Melon made their way to the filming spot as planned.

Upon arriving, Ariana spotted Remy shooting her quick, anxious looks.

She figured he must be feeling a tad sheepish about the sneaky thing he had pulled. But Ariana

shrugged it off, mingling with everyone and sticking to the plan set by the production crew.

Later that day, the crew had a surprise: The kids had to team up with a camera squad to drop by local

folks’ houses and gather supplies. The grown-ups, on the other hand, got paired up, their mission to

unearth hidden treasures in the vast outdoors.

And when it came to teaming up, Ariana got Remy.

Ariana was unfazed. She brushed off the previous night’s events, making sure she kept her space

while tackling the tasks.

However, she soon realized that Remy was really bad at completing the task.

Besides not having a clue himself, he was dead set on having Ariana follow his directionless

wandering.

With the daylight fading and still no item in hand, they were in a pickle.

After floundering for what felt like forever, even Remy looked like he wanted to bury his head in the

sand. He started off grumbling here and there, but soon enough, he buttoned up, tailing Ariana without

a peep.

Though she kept her cool, Ariana’s last nerve was close to snapping.

The thought of Melon waiting back home made her even more agitated, especially given that she

wasn’t Remy’s biggest fan to start with.

But pointing fingers wasn’t going to get them anywhere now. Bickering would only drag them down

more.

Ariana knew she couldn’t bank on Remy anymore.

She powered through, doing the work of two, completing more than half of the task. By the time she

was done, her hair and clothes were a wild mess.
