Lexi hurried after Zach, hoping he wasn't in too much of a rush to get away from their family. She was confident in her own abilities, but after what Zach had shown, she wasn't sure anymore.
Fortunately, Zach wasn't in a hurry. If anything, he was walking surprisingly slow.
It was almost like he was hoping and waiting for someone to come after him—for someone to choose him first.
It just so happened that the one who came after him was the only other summoner in the family.
"Zach!" Lexi cried out in slight relief when she saw Zach's back. He froze and slowed until coming to a complete halt. He slowly turned around and looked at Lexi as if asking her what she wanted.
Before he could verbalize that question, Lexi carried out what she had said to the others she would do. She sank to her knees in the deep snow and looked up at Zach with teary eyes.
