Chapter 73

• [ZARINA]
• Fortunately, for the next few days, Vladimir is busy like hell. Meaning, the talk that he desired to have, according to that note, had efficaciously been avoided. He is rarely here, and even if he manages to return some days, it’s almost way too late at night. While he is gone, I have the whole place to myself. Which is not that bad, to be honest.
• I’ve seen the beach up close, it’s gorgeous. And the more I tread along the shore, sometimes bare feet even, the longer I feel like staying. I have been avoiding getting into the water though. I don’t know, I just don’t feel like it. It might have something to do with all the news of people drowning and getting lost in the ocean that compels me to not take the risk, but there is no way to be sure.
