Chapter 179 The Truth

• The friends say goodbye to Kaylah and Archer, who are returning to New York where duty calls. Andre, Rick and Michelle take Kenjal on an island tour while Loraine and Aziel head back to their villa. As Aziel drives the Bugatti into the garage, he feels the sweet cool breeze from the sea entering the car through the windows. “Shall we take a walk on the beach, Angel? We might even meet at a camp party, which is usually very pleasant,” he suggests.
• They still go inside the house and prepare a picnic basket with some leftovers in the fridge. After that they walk onto the beach with intertwined hands. The sun is at its peak, which has driven a number of people, primarily women, to the beach to sunbathe. They decide to walk along the waterline and look for beautiful shells.
• At an ice cream truck, Aziel buys them both a sundae. “Hmmm, this is the best of life here on the island. Sun, sea and ice cream”, explains Aziel, licking his fingers. They go a bit further until they see some shady palm trees with stone benches and a table. Aziel takes out the cooler with ice and pours Loraine some bottled water. "Loraine, are you still feeling well now that you're not on Danner's meds anymore?" asks Aziel. He wonders if he should now tell that they’re only vitamin tablets. There is so much fresh fruit on the island to replace the chemical meds. “Much better. Maybe it's because of all the oranges and grapes you get delivered every day," she says gratefully, giving him a peck on the lips.
