The Islet Mystery 35

Shiela saw that the drummer followed Ryan into the yacht. She felt her heart was in her throat when the boatman paddled hard to the dark side until they were far away to have the engine took over the boatman's strength. Only then was she able to breathe. She knew she would still be meeting Ryan in the future, but at least, Jullien wouldn't be there. This month would most likely take all his time away for his wedding preparation.

Gazing into the dark night illuminated only with the boatman's lamp, she realized they separated from the rest of the group. If Ryan had plans to chase her, he could always do it. Their destination was not too far from his place. He had fast, powered crafts inside the yacht.
