She wasn't familiar with the area or the island's language-it wasn't one she knew.

Sitting by the enormous floor-to-ceiling window, she hugged her knees, feeling lost and helpless.

She pulled out her phone, thinking about contacting Aveline, but it was the middle of the night back in their country. Aveline was pregnant and definitely asleep. Selena didn't want to disturb her. What could she do? Who could help her?
