Chapter 64
Tara hadn’t expected her attempt to hide to be so obvious Stiff, she deniedi, saying, “Mr. Farnell, you’re reading too much inta ii. Why would I be hiding from any of you!–
Soren lowered his gaze and smiled. He didn’t call her mit again, he simply staredather, making her Inexplicably uneasy
Just as she looked away, a tall, broad–shouldered figure stepped between her and Soren, effectively separating them
Later’s voice was cold as he said, “Enough talking Let’s head inside first.”
He moved behind her, his hand casually nudging her forward, though his arm was actually subtly around her
Tara assumed he was concerned about delaying the cable car. A bit flusbreed, the quickly entered, not fully registering whether Lance was guiding or holding her.
Tar took the innermost seat on the left, and Lance followed her intothe cable car and sat beside her.
Seren sat directly across from Tara, his displeasure evident as he thoughtfully observed Lance beside her, a contemplative look on his face..
Jonah sat beside Soren while Shawn took the remaining seat next to Lance.
The cable car doors closed, and they began their slow ascent.
Tara gazed at the sky, the secting stun painting the clouds in shades of red. The higher they climbed, the more breathtaking the view became.
Her courage faltered as the cable car climbed higher, and she could not glance below. Her body stiffened, her fingers clutching the railing in an instinctive reaction. Beneath the brim of her hat, her delicate features betrayed her growing unease.
When the cable car suddenly jolted, terror sized her. She nearly screamed but managed to stile the sound, her heart pounding in her chest.
She nervously acknowledged to herself that acrophobia was something people couldn’t easily conquer–certainly not her
She inadvertently noticed Soren filming her with his phone, a playful smile on his face.
Tara could already imagine him mocking her fear with the video, but her terror was to profound she could’t utter a sound, too scared to care about his filming
“Are you scared?” Lance, beside her, asked softly, concern in his voice
Tata nodded stildly. “I’m a bit afraid of heights”
Socen, overbearing her, checked. “You don’t look like you’re just a little scared
Tara wanted to glare at him, but another job of the cable car froze het in fear, diending her
bocem was now slightly concerned, “Why didn’t you tell us you were afraid of heights beforehand?” he asked. Had they been aware of her acrophobia beforehand, the route would have be adjusted without hesitation. After all, the user could be admired at any other time.
Tata took a moment before she softly replied, “It’s fine. It‘ be over on.”
Soren paused briefly, perhaps surprised by the extent of her fear. Yet, even as fear gripped her, she refused to grow in, holding herself together through sheer willpower.
Jonah looked at Tana do a fleeting moment, taking in her efforts to suppress her acrophobia, But his focus soon shifted back to the view outside the cable car, his face retaining its usual air

Shawn extended his hand toward her and politely reminded her. “Te careful.”
Tare wasn’t overly afraid of getting off, but with Shower’s kind gesture in front of everyone, refusing would have been impolite. She took his wrist, but somehow his hand ended up saveloping her. With others waiting, she had no choice but to use support to quickly step off
De gentle touch of Tara’s hand caused Shawn to pause, his grasp slipping for a brief moment.
