Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

They arrived at Sea Town after a few hours.

Anna had fallen asleep against the passenger seat by then with tears on her face.

Wayne didn’t want to wake her up. He was aware, though, that time was running out and that they needed to return as quickly as

possible.

He tapped her on the shoulder after pulling up and said, “Hey, wake up, Anna. We’ve arrived.”

Anna opened her drowsy eyes and stared at Wayne for a few seconds. Then, she looked out of the window to see where she

was.

She noticed that the sunlight was so strong that she almost heard her skin cracking.

Anna had only taken two steps out of the car when she noticed a glimmer of shade above her. When she looked up, she found Wayne standing beside her with a black umbrella. Then, he asked, “Hey, where are we going?”

She looked back, then pointed to the grocery store and said, “That way. Peace told me to find the owner of the grocery store. She

said that it’s the only store in this town with a pay phone.”

North Town had always been a remote and poor place due to its odd location. And Sea Town was one of the most impoverished of

these villages.

Many fishermen squatted in front of their houses, smoking homemade cigarettes and enjoying the sunshine.

After Anna explained why she was there, the owner of the grocery store promptly remembered that they had previously chatted on

the phone. He then told his wife to stay in the store, and he showed Anna and Wayne the way to Andrew Cooper’s house.

“Oh, Andrew lives right on the beach. He’s weird, and he never talks to anyone in town.”

“Really? How come?” Anna walked behind the boss and asked things about Andrew curiously.

“Well, it’s strange enough for him to give up his life in the big city and suffer in this place!”
