The night comes slowly in this quiet island, it's barely eight o clock but the street is empty, there are only a few lampions and small lantern to illuminate the street, people here tend to sleep early because they went sailing at midnight to start fishing then return early morning using sea breeze to sail home to the mainland, it's a simple and relaxed lifestyle which Lory yearned sometime. Still, she knows that someone like her is not cut out for a simple life like this, she might like it for a while but then she would grow bored with it.
Lory pull the stool on the corner of her room then put in front of the open window before she takes a seat, she folded her arms on the window from and rest her chin on her arms, she enjoyed the midnight breeze and the sounds of waves.
"You don't sleep yet?" suddenly a gentle hand stroked her head.
