Whats her story?
Her lips curved into a humorless smile. Apparently, she threw herself off the cliffs. One night, she went to the lighthouse tower to check the lamps. Instead of refueling them, she walked to the edge and leaped to her death.
A chill traveled down Danielas spine. How do they know she jumped?
She washed up at Dead Mans Beach, pockets full of stones.
Oh. Now she knew why Sean hadnt wanted her to hear the tale. Hed always been protective, and there was a time, not so long ago, that shed contemplated a similar fate. Why wasnt she eaten by sharks, do you think?
It wasnt shark season, Jason said, matter-of-fact.
Daniela stared down at her plate, silent. She was curious about the skinned seal, but she hesitated to bring up a second unpleasant topic. Instead, she ate a few more bites and took sips of water, pretending to relax.
