Chapter 72 Morning Conversations

• “Oh, I wasn’t expecting you’d be here at this hour!” When Miguel talked, he had a silly smile on his face. “Auntie.” His last words came out quickly and were a mix of mockery and irritation. The sun had just started to rise, giving the island a warm glow.
• Ruth gave Miguel a nasty look with her narrowed eyes. She replied by rolling her eyes, giving off an air of irritation. Ruth was sitting on a garden bench and looking at the endless sea. She had been sitting there with her eyes fixed on the sky for almost an hour, waiting calmly for the sunrise to come up. She kept looking in the distance. As the sun rose, its rays hurtled through the calm waves. The view was stunning; it looked like the sun was coming up from the ocean. She was spellbound by this beautiful scene, which made her heart full of awe and wonder. Before her, the sea changed fascinatingly as the sun rose and shone its warm rays on the world. Its once-drab, dead surface slowly came to life with a rainbow of bright colors, creating a stunning picture of nature’s art. The constantly shifting colors danced on the water’s soft waves, making a show that fascinated her. This beautiful display meant the start of a new day for her, full of endless opportunities and newfound hope.
• Nearby, a waitress stood, and she wasn’t too far away. A hot drink was calmly sitting on the table, and its pleasant smell filled the air. Ruth immediately took the delicate china cup and put it on her lips. She carefully took a small sip and enjoyed the taste of the liquid inside. Her response to Miguel’s teasing was quiet and calm. She found herself feeling pretty sad.
