Moments later they are walking along the waters edge.. A nice breeze floats by.. The sun warm on their backs. The weather is pleasant to say the least.

“Amazing, I don’t come here as much as I should. I’ve got money too.. I am wealthy.. and yet I never, ever come down here” Avery admits.

Melanie lets out a laugh.. “Just because your rich doesn’t mean you have to come here.. you live in the city, and your usually busy with stuff.” Melanie says in rebuttal.

“I am just lucky I guess, I have always come here.. especially when I need to get away. Like, when my parents get to me, with their fighting, and Ethan is pulling his signature stunts.. I come here and find peace.. I can be Melanie.. and not a pawn in the Gibson Empire.” Melanie confesses.

“That’s good for you.. I guess.. you need that sanctuary.. a place to numb out and just reflect and relax.. I understand” Avery said. He placed a hand on her shoulder, to demonstrate that sentiment.

“I am just so glad that you are here.. with me..”Mel admits.
