Dale takes me on a joyride through the empty streets of Barbados.
The cool ocean wind flows through my hair. I actually like this island life, there is no stress here and I easily make friends here. Saint Lucia is again another good experience after Barbados. “Hmmmm, Loraine, tell me. Are you in love? You seem like a bon vivant who doesn't care about anything”, the Adonis next to me asks with a smile on his face. I relax and look at him from the side. He still looks straight ahead at the road, waiting for my answer.
“No, I just painfully got out of a great relationship and am healing from my heartache,” I respond. “I do have a partner who helps me with that”. Dale nods and accelerates a little more. “How long have you been in Barbados, are you here to stay? Your accent betrays that you are also a New Yorker and your demeanor that you arrived here not too long ago.”
His questions make me a little tense.
