Chapter 568
The rest of the night passthout further dreams
When she woke up the next morning, Rebecca was clear–headed again. Thinking bark to the dorm.
been triggered by revisiting high school memories last night
That day, they were scheduled to visit the home of an elderly traditional dancer on the island. They had originally plans their host to take them, but he had sudden business, asking his brother next door to grade them instead
When they arrived at the neighboring house, Rebecca suddenly remembered that Darren had once stayed there. She co help studying the building more carefully.
This guesthouse appeared to have been operating longer than the others. It was probably the oldest in the village. One of its distinctive features was a large cabinet filled with guestbooks.
It was tidy and clean, yet brimming with a sense of history at every turn.
Rebecca stood in front of the cabinet, wondering if there might be a page with Darren’s message. But they were about to leave. and there were far too many books to search through.
A voice came from behind her. “Looking for Darren’s message?”
She turned to see two people coming out. Anna smiled at her, and she greeted Anna politely, then answered Vance, “I was thinking about it, but there’s no time now.”
“I already looked,” he said.
The words on the page came into focus: (If you want to forget the world, come here. If you want to remember the world, come here. It’s a place that makes you forget and yet makes you long to remember.)
The message was beautifully cryptic. Her interpretation was that the music, beer, and dance here could help people forget their troubles, but at the same time, they would saiss the people they cared about even more
So, Darren had someone he missed. She remembered the “dancing girl” Vance had mentioned when reciting from the journal last night and couldn’t help asking, “Did Darren have a girlfriend? Was it the dancing girl he mentioned?”
She thought it made sense
Maybe he had brought his girlfriend here because the girl loved dancing, and he had wanted to give her the ultimate experience of music and movement
