Chapter Twenty-Two

Winter meant nothing in Hawaii. While Meridian, Arkansas was in the 40s, Hawaii stayed a balmy mid-80s year round. It was the nearest place he’d been able to think of where Olivia could swim in the ocean and fly over a volcano in two hours.

They landed in a small cemetery on the island of Kauai. Not exactly secluded, but one of the most amazing sunrises Kylen had ever experienced had been at Shipwreck Beach. He hoped they’d have a chance to see one equally as spectacular.

“Where are we?”

“Hawaii.”

“What!” Olivia spun around in a circle, taking in the tropical foliage. The water was still well beyond their line of sight. The five-hour time difference and the short walk from the cemetery down the dirt path would put them on the beach just in time.

As they emerged from the forest and onto the edge of the pristine white beach, Olivia gasped. “Oh, Kylen. It’s…”

“Number 47. The sunrise is a bonus.”

Olivia sank to the sand on her bottom, wrapping her arms around her legs, and rested her chin on her drawn-up knees. She kicked off her shoes and dug her toes into the sand.

“I’ve always wanted to see the ocean. Where are we? Exactly?”

“Kauai.”

“You’ve been here before?”

“Yes.”

“You’re so lucky to be able to travel like you do. You must have been to thousands of places this lovely. Is this your favorite?”

“No.”

“Then where? I can’t even imagine anywhere better than this. Look at those colors!”

Kylen did look. But it had been too long since he’d last exchanged energy with Olivia. His color vision had faded again, and he would have to trust her assessment.

“Come. You can sit by me to watch it,” Olivia said.

This wasn’t a vacation, and they didn’t have time to be leisurely, but he couldn’t deny the appreciative sparkle in her eyes. She was practically glowing with happiness. It didn’t escape him that he was the cause, a fact that pleased him more than it should. But while he didn’t want to ruin this for her, they needed to knock these items off the bucket list and get back to Meridian to finish the rest.

He sat.

His scythe scabbard was rigid and unyielding against his back, so he was uncomfortable at first, but he soon found himself lost in the gray shades of the Shipwreck Beach sunrise. Olivia’s bright aura was almost a physical presence between them.

She reached for his hand, taking it into hers and held it without words.

He let her.

He watched as his electric blue energy leaped up her arm, turning her white aura a pale shade of blue. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the colors of the sky, and he watched in awe as the sun rose over the craggy rock projection that had given the beach its name.

As the colors finally faded to the brilliant blue of morning, he pulled his hand away.

“If you’re going to swim, now’s the time.”

Olivia smiled and rose to her feet. She pulled her sundress up and over her head, dropping it at his feet.
