Although they were away from the crowds, occasionally a few tourists passed by them. In the distance were lively music and people's voices. Nearby were the sounds of ocean waves striking against reefs, and Suny could hear her heart beating faster. As soon as Austin let go of her, she saw a couple walking toward them. There was no light here, so it was hard to make out anybody's faces.
"Hey! People are everywhere!"
"What? We're not having an affair."
"Austin!"
"Then can I kiss you when we go back?" Austin's eyes were crinkling. He took her soft hand,
"Aren't you scared of my grandpa?" Austin's smile faded as he thought of Charlie. To be honest, it did seem like they were having an affair in front of Charlie.
It was getting late. Suny was a little sleepy.
"Let's go back."
"Okay."
At around seven o'clock the next day, Suny finally opened her eyes after the alarm clock sounded. The sunlight outside the window was bright. She could vaguely see the light outside through the tightly drawn curtains. After Suny and Austin finished their breakfast, Charlie and Jacob came back after walking around the beach.
When Charlie saw his granddaughter standing next to Austin, he looked unhappy, "Suny."
Suny glanced at Austin. She walked up to Charlie and asked with a smile, "Grandpa, do you see the sunrise?"
The sun rose too early in the summer, so she missed the sunrise. The room Suny booked for Charlie was on the east side, so he could see the beautiful sunrise in his room.
"I saw it. It's amazing!"
Charlie woke up before dawn. After washing up, he sat on the balcony to wait for the sunrise. He even took a picture of it! He quickly showed the photos to Suny. Unfortunately, the sunrise photos were very blurry because of overexposure.
"I don't know how to take photos. You must do better than me."
"I got up late, grandfather."
Jacob cut in, "Mr. Murphy, I took some photos. I can send them to you."
Charlie wanted to go back and show Nathan these photos. When he heard this, he shifted his attention to Jacob. Suny felt her hand suddenly pulled by someone. She raised her head and saw Austin standing beside her. He was holding her hand while Charlie was not paying attention to them. Suny was worried that Charlie would turn around and see it. She wanted to pull her hand back, but Austin had already let go of her hand first.
At about nine o'clock, they returned to the yacht and prepared to sail back. When they returned to the port, it was already after midnight. After lunch, Suny drove Charlie back to the hotel. Austin was picked up by Ivan. In the evening, Charlie attended a gathering of old comrades, and at ten o'clock the next day, Suny sent him to the plane back to D City.
