Sarah's birthday (9)

Aiden didn't respond. He stood up and started the powerboat with a mysterious smile lingering on his face.

Sarah watched without a word as they slowly moved around the large island. Behind the lighthouse was a row of trees and bushes which hid three buildings nestled just beyond the cove.

Aiden tied up the boat, and stepped on a berth, extending his arm, palm up toward Sarah.

Sarah was not sure what to think. 'Did he really buy an island? He just rented this, right? Or maybe we are here only to see the lighthouse...' As they walked on the berth, she looked at him apprehensively.

He smiled and started explaining. "Lighthouse keeper lives in the lighthouse with his family. They maintain other buildings. That smaller, house closest to the lighthouse is home to lighthouse keeper's brother, Toma."

"Toma from earlier?" Sarah remembered Toma, crew member with knowledge of history and ancient Greece.
