I AM READY FOR IT!
After her first day on Warthford Island, Florence sat in her room in silence. Today she had gone to the neighbouring towns and had met several people asking them about Mrs Payne.
She even asked the old lady- the owner of the place where she stayed- about Mrs Payne or, her any family or friends. But the woman told her that she did not know any such person.
The island was not too big, and she expected that people living there must know each other. Maybe she was wrong.
After an unsuccessful first day, she decided to do the rest of the search the next day. Her mind kept wandering back to Vincardine. She could not forget how Edwin and Ruth looked at each other.
She did not even know if something was going in between them. No matter what, she would not allow Ruth or anyone else to steal what she was trying to get over the years.
