Chapter 11

The sun was out and the day was glorious. If the weather kept up she might even find the upcoming month a pleasant sojourn, a time to relax and lick her wounds after the terrifically stressful years she’d had working the burn unit.

After finishing her studies she’d immediately started work there. And she hadn’t let up since. Several years of working hard had left their mark on her body and soul. She couldn’t remember having had a decent night’s sleep in ages, and she just knew that being here, in the middle of nature, could very well be like the holiday she’d refused to take since she’d started at Saint-Michael’s.

She walked to the edge of the promontory, and slowly and very carefully picked her way down along the narrow rock trail to the small beach below. And she’d just settled against a particularly large boulder, her book in hand, when a seagull landed not ten feet away. The bird eyed her curiously from its stance, as if wanting to know what this strange animal was doing on its territory. Molly sat perfectly still, not wanting to scare the bird away, and felt her heart beat faster as she watched. She’d never seen a bird from up close like this before. Being a city girl she wasn’t accustomed to being around animals, except for the occasional mouse in her apartment, or the cockroaches infesting her basement.

She was in awe, a smile lighting up her features at the rare treat, and only when the bird finally gave a soft squawk and took flight again, as if satisfied that she posed neither threat nor competition for its food, she sighed deeply. Yes, even though being around Steve was proving hard in a different way than she’d anticipated, there were definitely boons to being here on this island as well.

She read for an hour before her eyes started to droop, the sun slowly shifting in the sky, casting its shadows over her as she sat enjoying the morning peace. Around her there was nothing but the occasional squawk of a seagull and the relaxing sounds of the waves crashing on the beach, and soon her eyes drifted closed, and she sat slumped, her book tumbling from her limp grasp.
