Just like that, the morning passed.
The sun had climbed high into the sky.
The beach that had been filled with laughter, flying beach balls, and excited voices slowly became peaceful again.
The waves continued their gentle rhythm against the shore while everyone gathered their belongings.
"It is lunch time," Elena announced.
"I don't care where we eat anymore."
"As long as there is food."
Everyone laughed.
The group slowly began walking deeper into the island.
A few staff members guided them through the forest paths.
Miles walked beside Chloe while the others followed behind.
Since last year, Miles had secretly invested in developing the island.
At that time, he had never imagined he would retire from Graveyard and settle in Star Harbor.
Now the island felt surprisingly close to home.
The deeper they walked, the more beautiful the scenery became.
Small stone paths curved through the forest.
Wooden bridges crossed over gentle streams.
