Night By The Sea Chapter 1 소설 & 이야기

My men ran towards the board walk to their own boats, and as soon as they got in, members of the family trouped out. "Now!" I said. Then they clicked the button, and everything went up in flames. I watched as bodies, and furnitures flew up in the air, and the fire burned brightly. Ronnie was an unfortunate offspring who had just ended his family…… ********* We were on the sea for almost the whole night. While the noise of the engine of the speed boat pierced through my ears, all I could think of was Paula. Every time she crossed my mind, my anger heightened, and I couldn't wait to get back on land….

I looked away. “And if I give him this?” she asked, raising the half-burned note. “If I tell him what coast you’re on, that you’re not really gone?” I thought of Lily. Of bookstores and sea air. Of freedom without fear. “Give him just enough,” I said. “Let him choose this time.” — A few weeks later… The sea always arrived before the morning. It crawled up the shore like it had something to prove. And I stood behind the bookstore’s counter, watching the tide move the world without ever raising its voice.

"I don't think we’re 'Nobodies' yet. I think we’ve just changed which story we’re in." He took my hand, his grip firm and steady. "Then we’ll write the next chapter together," he said. "No contracts. Just us." The boat hit the shore of a small, rocky cove just as the first grey light of dawn began to bleed into the sky. We stepped off the boat and onto the sand, two fugitives with two infants, walking into a country where we didn't speak the language and had no place to stay. The Thorne name was at the bottom of the ocean. But as I watched the sun rise over the mountains, I realized that Ranya Vale was just getting started.

One corner was burned, but I could still see my face. “Wendy,” he said to the photo, his words slurred. “I think… I saw you today… by the sea… wearing a white dress…” I stood beside him and reached out, wanting to touch his hair. However, my hand passed straight through. “I’m sorry…” he kept saying. “I’m sorry… I should have believed you… I should have protected you… I should have…” He broke down crying, like a child, curling up in the chair and hugging the frame.

“Last chance to turn back.” I stepped onto the deck. “Never.” He smiled, small, real, kissed me once, hard, then started the engines. The outboards roared to life. We pushed off into the dark. The sea was flat, black glass reflecting the fading stars. We ran at thirty knots, spray cold against our faces, the island growing from a shadow on the horizon to a low green hump ringed with white surf. No lights. No structures visible from the water. Just jungle tumbling down to black volcanic rock.

I’ve never cared enough about anyone in that way so I was clueless. I watched as she got into the bed and I waited till I was sure she was deep asleep before I then went to take my shower. I slipped back into my shirt since there was nothing to change into. Our luggage is still missing. I quietly got into bed on the other side but it wasn’t up to ten minutes when the storm started. Heavy rain slammed against the windows while thunder shook the building. The lights flickered twice and then everything went dark. “I can’t believe this!” Lyra groaned from the other side of the bed while I rubbed my forehead.

"Being is what I do when I'm not afraid. And right now, I'm not afraid." "Good." "Good." --- The waves crash. The stars shine. And somewhere inside the house, two dogs dream of running. But we're not running anymore. We're home. End of Chapter 150

Adrian's fingers closed around his. The sea moved. The last of the light went. The dark came in from the east the way dark always came, thoroughly and without apology, and it was cold on the headland and the torchlight was small and the town was twenty minutes back down the path. They stayed a while longer anyway. End of Chapter Twenty-Four

“To check things upstairs.” “At one in the morning?” “Yes.” Sienna narrowed her eyes immediately. “You’re absolutely not leaving me down here alone during a sea apocalypse.” “It’s not an apocalypse.” “There is lightning over the ocean.” “That happens regularly.” “Not in my tax bracket.” Luca laughed softly despite himself before tossing one of his sweaters toward her. “Come on then, Tesoro.” — The upper deck looked entirely different at night. Earlier it had been all sunlight and champagne and impossible turquoise water. Now the sea stretched black and endless around them while rain lashed sideways across the yacht beneath violent flashes of lightning far out over the horizon. Sienna immedia

Again, he was the only thing my eyes still could see inside this dark sea, again he came to my rescue but just the difference is this time I didn’t need it. When he closed on my, I pushed his chest ruthlessly and without any mercy, not caring if I hurt him with my paws and swam back up on my own. The dark sea took pity on me and the waves went little calm when I tried to reach the shore. The beach was shining under the light of moon goddess. It looked too beautiful for this tragedy that was happening.
