"I'm here, I'm here!"
Ash took Linda's hand as well, constantly comforting her, though his expression was somewhat grim.
The fact that Linda had dreamed of that place was definitely an omen. He had to stay away from it.
At that moment, Ash could only blame himself for not paying attention to Linda's nightmare at this point in time before.
He said, "Since you dreamed that forest and all that was so terrifying, then we won't follow our original itinerary and go to the forest I contacted online."
"Let's go to Jacksonville instead. The environment there is great. There are beaches and the ocean."
"But we don't have enough money to vacation there. It's very expensive!" Linda said thoughtfully, hugging Ash's arm.

Hearing how understanding his girlfriend was, Ash said reassuringly, "It's fine. I have a way to deal with the money. Don't worry!"
