Eveline stood upon the stairs and gazed down at Galean, oblivious to her. As she stood, she watched him put on his long coat, the sun flowing through the glass stained door showing up the particles of dust. Feeling a set of eyes searing through him, Galean turned and found Eveline’s golden gaze upon him.

“Eveline, are you sure you should be up?” Galean asked with concerned eyes.

“I am feeling much better Mr Edwards,” Eveline beamed, her body, soul and mind completely her own as she made her way down the stairs to stand before Galean as he put his hat on.

“Where are you off too?”

“To Weymouth,” Galean said as his buttoned his coat, keeping his blue gaze on her. She looked young and healthy, her skin warm, her lips red and her eyes sparkling.

“So far?” Eveline replied with surprise.

“It is the anniversary of my wife and daughters death,” Galean said under his breath as Eveline handed him his scarf.

“I’m so sorry Mr Edwards,” Eveline said gravely as Galean wound his scarf about him.

“No need to apologise,” Galean smiled weakly.

“Why the sea?”

“They loved the sea,” Galean said flatly.

“I have never been to the seaside before,” Eveline said as she rested her hands before her.

“Would you like to accompany me?” Galean asked with hope. Eveline furrowed her brows in thought.

“When will we back?”

“No later than nine.”

“I’m not sure I should,” Eveline said with uncertainty, stuck between loyalty and curiosity.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have put you on the spot like that,” Galean said roughly, turning away from Eveline and making for the door, opening it to let the winter sun flow into the reception area, bathing Eveline in a flood of light and warmth. “Good day.” Galean tipped his hat to her before closing the door behind him. Eveline looked about her, the rooms empty and the house quiet. Before her she eyed up her coat, hat, scarf and gloves and immediately took in a deep breathe.

“To hell with it,” she muttered as she quickly took her coat down from the hanger and picked up her hat, gloves and scarf opening the door in a hurry. “Galean! Wait!” Galean turned around and smiled up at her.

“I cannot believe you have never been to the sea side before,” Galean said as they drove through the countryside.

“Well I do live beside a lake,” Eveline smiled as she gazed outside the window, taking in the bare fields. “I suppose that counts for something doesn’t it?”

“Well no not really.”

“How so?”

“I’m not entirely sure how I can explain the difference, despite their being so many,” Galean returned with a miffed expression.

“I suppose the environment is completely different, the air, the beach and the atmosphere.”

“There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not man the less, but Nature more.”

“Lord Byron I believe?” Eveline quipped her eyebrows.

“Indeed,” Galean laughed, his face lighting up in a way Eveline had never truly experienced before.
