Standing by the window side gazing at the far distant golden sky was evelyn, her hair swaying gently by the gentle push and pull of the cool morning breeze, she had woken up a few minutes before dawn. Her thoughts subsisted on yesterday's kiss with Leonard who she was certain had brought her to her room.

Sarah was woken up by a persistent sunray that tickled her eyes in the most unnerving way. She tried to ignore it by turning to the other side while coming to her senses, but the memory of what she heard from Luke last night made it impossible for her to go back to sleep. That and the slight rocking of the boat she felt made her unwillingly open her eyes and sit up in bed.

It was a new moon so the stars were shining their brightest. "Ha- I don't know what I've done to win such favor from you god... But thank you." Alison mumbled with a tear rolling down her cheek. All in one day never had she been so terrified, and yet never had she been so thankful for something either.

Meals were brought to me three times a day, but the place felt like it had been forgotten by the outside world. That night, Rosie appeared in a silk nightgown. Her beautiful face was bare of makeup as she gazed at me with a look of tender sorrow. “Evan, don’t blame me for this! I had no choice but to do things this way to make sure nothing went wrong!” Her eyes shimmered with tears. Her pitiful expression was designed to tug at the heartstrings of any man.

I also saw him furtively hold her hand. Only then did I realize that his suit and her dress matched. I didn't want to continue tarnishing my dignity, so I quietly made to leave. However, someone stepped on the hem of my dress, and I toppled to the ground. Embarrassed, I looked back, only to meet Elise's gleeful gaze, that of someone who'd triumphed against her adversary.

Only when the evidence was undeniable would Serena and Ethan truly believe I was dead. At the same moment, I was hauled up by the backup I’d arranged in advance. Gus walked over in long strides.

She refused treatment for her leg and insisted on going back to the place we had lived together.

The standoff lasted until morning. It lasted through the pre-dawn dark and the slow gray arrival of the hour before sunrise and into the first pale light of a day that came, as days always do, entirely indifferent to the divine and mortal drama happening beneath it. The sun rose because the sun rose. The territory's eastern edge caught the light first, the way it always did the old oak canopy going from black to charcoal to the specific green-gold of early morning, the dew on the estate grounds catching the first rays with the silent indifference of something that had been doing this every day for longer than any of the beings currently standing on the ground had existed.
