Sabrina lowered herself on the ground beside Rhett.

"How's Amara doing?" Rhett asked.

"She already drink the medicine and she's currently sleeping," Sabrina replied.

"What took you so long to join me here?" Rhett asked.

Sabrina heaved a sigh. "Amara and I have a serious talk..."

Rhett's brows furrowed. "Really-? What were you discussing about?" he asked curiously.

Sabrina shrugged. "Just girl's stuff and life in general. And I told her to stay away from you!" she answered.

Rhett chuckled and pinched her nose in amusement. "Oh, my! You and your jealousy!"

Sabrina smiled.

Rhett saw Grandma Azere coming to the cave, carrying a basket. "Here comes, Grandma!" he said.

Sabrina waved her hand. "Grandma!"

Azere walked towards the entrance of the cave, the newcomer is still absent. She addressed the couple. "Amara still not feeling well?" she asked.

Sabrina nods her head. "She already drink the medicine, Grandma, and currently sleeping in the chamber," she answered.

"Good!" Azere said and placed the thick coat made of sheepskin into the rock. "Give this to Amara, I know that it must be freezing inside the cave during midnight," she said. And to avoid friction between the girls, the new comer must have her own space. "How about the chamber next to the one you're using right now? Can Amara stay there?" she asked.

"That is where Amara was bitten by the scorpions, Grandma. She would be traumatized if she will stay in that room again, besides there's lots of scorpions hiding underneath in the ground there," Sabrina stated.

"That's not a problem. I recently discovered a plant that can drive away the scorpions because of its unique smell. You can put them in the corners of the chamber, I already planted them in the small pot. It's a low maintenance plant and can survive in the cave. It's in the basket..." Azere said.

"Thank you, Grandma. It's better for Amara to have her own room equip with a wooden bed," Sabrina agreed.

"That's not a problem. There are fallen trees nearby, I can cut them tomorrow morning and bring them outside the cave so that Rhett can easily reach them and make Amara's bed," Azere spoke.

"That would be great, Grandma. Just cut the light ones don't carry the heavy ones, you might get injured and get tired easily," Rhett said.

Azere smiled. "That's not a problem. Tomorrow morning before you wake up the logs are already here at the entrance of the cave ready to be made into a bed," she said.

"Awsome, Grandma!" Sabrina said happily. She looked at Rhett. "I will help you make Amara's bed tomorrow!"

"Sure!" Rhett smiled and planted a kiss on her temple.

Azere smiled. "Alright, kids, I'll go now and return later for your dinner..."

"Bye Grandma... see you later!" Sabrina said.

"Bye, Grandma!" Rhett spoke.

Azere smiled and walked away from the cave, going back to her place.

Rhett grabbed the basket and the coat from the rock.

Sabrina inspected the small pots made of clay, a total of seven pots inside the basket. It's already planted with the special plant to ward off scorpions. "They're so cute, they're looking like cactus!" she commented.

"Let's bring them to the chamber. I also need to go to the toilet to pee," Rhett said.

"Okay..." Sabrina responded.

The couple went back to the chamber.

When they arrived there, Amara was still sleeping.

Rhett proceeds to the toilet.

Sabrina waited for the woman to wake up.

A few minutes later.

Amara opened her eyes.

"Good morning! Grandma arrived earlier and brought a coat, she told me to give it to you so that you can use it to protect you during the freezing temperature at night," Sabrina said and handed the coat to her.

Amara accepted the coat and smiled brightly. "Wow, what a nice coat! I will thank Grandma personally if I will see her tomorrow," she said in a grateful voice.

"I'm glad you like it," Sabrina said and showed Amara the plants.

"What's that?" asked Amara.

"Tomorrow, Rhett and I will make a wooden bed for you. Once the bed is done, you will relocate in the next chamber so that you can have privacy. Don't worry, Grandma, told me that these plants had a unique smell that can ward off scorpions. We will put it around the chamber so that the scorpions will vacate the place and no longer bite you," Sabrina explained.

"Awesome!" Amara gushes. "Grandma is so nice to me, I like her!"

"Are you excited to have your own room?" Sabrina asked.

"Yes, of course!" Amara beamed.

"Are you not afraid of the scorpions anymore?" Sabrina asked.

Amara looked at the plants. "The plants will take care of the scorpions for me," she replied wisely.

"Good!" Sabrina was glad that Amara didn't make a big fuss about relocating to the next chamber. "How are you feeling now?" she inquired.

"I feel much better!" Amara replied. "Grandma's medicine is great! The numbness and pain on my feet are starting to fade away," she added.

Sabrina smiled. "Glad to hear that. Get well soon!"

"I will! Thank you," Amara said.

Rhett took a peek inside the chamber for a few seconds and then proceed his way.

"Do you need water or anything? Or if you want to go to the toilet, I'll accompany you there," Sabrina offered before she leaves the chamber.

Amara shook her head. "No thanks, I can manage. You may go now..." she replied.

"Okay. I'm going to the entrance of the cave," Sabrina said, she rose to her feet, then left the chamber.

She found Rhett inspecting the next chamber. "Let's clean this area!" she suggested.

"Okay... " Rhett replied.

"I'll bring the plants here so that the scorpions will no longer enter this place," Sabrina said and went back to the chamber.

A few minutes later, she returned and placed the pots in every corner of the chamber.

She picked up the broom outside and began sweeping the ground.

Rhett was already planning in his head where to put the bed.

One hour later, they finished cleaning the chamber and went to the entrance of the cave to relax and enjoy the rest of the afternoon.

Rhett noticed that Sabrina was more cheerful today than in the previous days. "I wonder why are you feeling high spirited today?" he asked curiously.

Sabrina smiled. "I'm glad that Amara will have her own place soon. The new arrangement will reduce my jealousy and anxiety," she answered honestly.

Rhett kissed her cheeks and chuckled. "I know it!"

Sabrina glared at him and pinched his side. "Are you playing fun of me?"

"No!" Rhett shook his head quickly. "I realized how jealousy can make a person lose her mind absurdly and at the same time in a cute way," he commented in amusement.

Sabrina sighed. "Yeah, you're right. Jealousy is a negative emotion that is not good to nurture in our heart, it's an absolute torture! I don't like feeling this way all the time!" she said. Hopefully, their new arrangement starting tomorrow can finally restore her peace of mind.

Rhett draped his arms around her lovingly and planted a kiss on her head. "I love you!" he said tenderly.

"I love you too!" Sabrina beamed.

Together, the couple enjoyed watching the magical sunset appearing beautifully on the horizon.
