Wednesday's pov:
"now there's no way I'm gonna fall" I hear her saying giggling. I assume she's smiling. For the first time in my life I find myself speechless. Unable to move nor say anything. So I'll ignore her. 
I'm loathing this deeply. We're finally halfway to Vertones and I think my ears are already bleeding by all the storytimes she's telling me. Having a dulled Sinclair wasn't as tolerable as I imagined. 
For some odd reason I'm unable to feel as usual. Her hands around my waist which I would take them off of me  rapidly but I think at least I'm repaying him for saving me that night. But i definitely find this torture. 
The only favorable things were the sights of our surroundings. The weather was as I like, rainy and cloudy. The sound of breaking branches at the horse's step. 
The giant dark green trees around us filled the place. The amount of horses in front of us, were also looking at the views. Although my roommate doesn't think the same. 
"this is creepy AF imagine being here all alone at night" I'm predicting her worried expression on her face looking at her surroundings. 
"feels like home" I honestly admitted. 
There was a moment of silence for my pleasure, so I assume she didn't like my opinion about the place. But as much as I know her, this is too much silence from an extrovert as her.  
Suddenly I lost the touch of her hands around my waist giving me a strange feeling. I can't quite explain how I'm feeling at the moment. the unanticipated movement left me confused. 
Enid's pov:
Everything was fine at first but then I remembered Ajax. I got a notification from my phone and I was hoping it was him but he wasn't and this put me in a thinking position. 
*Girl how u doin with ur Wednesday* I read the message from Yoko that was, a couple of horses in front of us.  I smiled at the text without realizing it. 
*Kinda bored, u know how she hated the fact that she couldn't go off alone haha* I responded putting my phone in my pocket. 
The weather was horrible, I don't know how Wednesday likes it. But I feel sad about Ajax. What If he isn't with his parents? I mean I don't know, but what if he lied though? because it looks so strange that he left me like that and didn't even try to warn me that he was going off for a week. 
"Enid" said Wednesday in a firm way, interrupting my thoughts. 
"yeah?" 
"are there any... issues?" I can feel her trying to act monotone but I can tell she's embarrassed.
I'm shocked that she even bothered to worry about that, and I don't even know how she knew I wasn't well. 
"is Wednesday Addams actually worried about me?" I said to her ear with a teasing tone. 
"not in the least" 
"I was only too delighted for such silence, but noticing it is quite impossible for someone like you to be silent for almost thirty seconds"
I moved back from her ear and played with my fingers, without saying anything. 
"Well?" she asked turning her head showing her perfect perfile in a way to face me. 
"I was just thinking you know... it's about Ajax." and as I say so, her face turns back looking forward. 
"did he break your heart?" said with sarcasm, but something in the way she said it looked off. 
"no, well, I mean I'm just worried..." 
"its just that he just got a week off because he had some problems with his family but he hasn't even bothered to even tell me anything, I just find out by his roommate. I... I texted him and he hasn't responded yet and it's been almost three days" 
Wednesday's pov: 
When Enid spoke to me about the gorgon I felt as if my head was on fire along with my hands gripping the horse's rope tightly.
I haven't learned how to console people I consider "friends" yet. I hope she perceives my silence as my understanding.
