Gibson Summer Estate

The two arrive at their destination.. The Hampton’s looks so peaceful at night. The stars are out in abundance.. they litter the sky with their beauty.. Shiny specks of light against an otherwise dull black backdrop.. Avery joins Melanie, in her observance of the sky. “It’s like tiny diamonds hanging in midair firing off radiant flashes of light.. just for us to see” Avery said, attempting to sound poetic.

Melanie walks up to the driver’s window..Miguel rolls down the window, so he could hear her speak. “Miguel honey, I am going to be staying at the beach house for the evening.. possibly for a few days.. I am going to need a few changes of clothing. I realize, this is all terribly short notice . I do apologize..Could you go back to the city, and grab me a few changes of clothes. my mom will help with that.. Just tell her I went here to get away.” She smiled. “Yes ma’am.” were Miguel’s words. He drove off leaving the two of them at the Gibson summer home.

“Nice place.” Avery said, looking at the place.
