The weather in Hillberry Isle was only slightly better than yesterday. However, Gael thought that they were just in the eye of the storm. He complained two days ago… But now, spending the afternoon with Angela and staring at her so close like this, he thought that it wasn't so bad getting stuck on the island.
She had kept her eyes closed, but he could see her eyes moving under her lids, making him wonder what she was thinking at the moment. He couldn't understand what it was about her that fascinated him so much that he couldn't tear his eyes away from her. He had been with women before and he wasn't this interested—it was as though she was a book that he wanted to read endlessly.
