The storm was beginning to arrive.
The wind was hitting hard.
The ocean seemed endless.
Flynn placed a hand on my back.
“You know anything?”
I stopped.
What?
She sighed.
I thought it would be harder.
I looked at him.
“What?
For the first time, he dropped the mask.
“Getting fired from you.
The silence was absolute.
Then I heard footsteps behind us.

Fiona.
All smiling.
“It’s a shame,” said Fiona. You were such a naive girl.
My heart hardened.

Flynn frowned.
“What did you say?”
I took a step back.
“They made a mistake.

I picked up my phone.
Thinking she was asleep.
The smile disappeared.
For a second, no one reacted.
Then Flynn moved forward.
“Give me that.
But before he could get close, the deck lights went on.
And a voice came out of the speakers.
