Chapter 121
- "Home sweet home." Glenda dumps her hand luggage in the center of the Tarry shack as Sophia walks in behind her, gazing around the much-missed home of theirs. Glad to be back here even though they were not gone all that long, not even far, and yet it feels like they went to another planet. It's the warmest and most relaxing breath of fresh air to walk in here, letting all her stresses go and basking in the feel of familiar safety.
- They had covered up everything with dust sheets down there since they didn't know how long they would be gone, and this area gets a lot of incoming sand and salty air from the air vents, looking oddly abandoned. Everything is covered in cream cloth. All the chairs are upside down on surfaces, creating a sea of beige mountains with weird ridges and peaks.
- "Where do you want these?" Bryan shuffles behind them with suitcases in hand, and Glenda lurches into action, instantly smiley and attentive to their casually dressed muscle man. They have been flirting and cooing at one another all morning, especially on the boat ride home, and Sophia leaves her to it, not wanting to play the third wheel.
