She would stand up happily, then loudly tell Archer, "I'm so hungry, why didn't you find me?"
Archer would sigh and say with a helpless smile, "I was late, it won't happen again."
They would walk home together, with her hopping and bouncing ahead like a rabbit, and Archer following slowly, occasionally looking up at the night sky.
But more often, he was looking at the smile on Hannah's face.
Seeing her smile, he couldn't help but curl his lips upward as well.
"Archer, I won't play hide and seek anymore, okay? Stop hiding."
Hannah searched all the secret bases but still couldn't find Archer.
Her favorite red cape was torn, and her feet were muddied, yet she just stood helplessly in the pitch-black forest.
Like a lost child.
Other than calling out that name over and over, she didn't know what else she could do.
It seemed like Archer had truly disappeared.
This was the first time Hannah had cried since she was five years old.
