"Everyone could tell you wanted some alone time," Debra said, leaning into Marion's arms. "They didn't want to be third wheels."
She smiled, "Your heart was racing back there."
Marion ruffled her wet hair. "You know what I'm afraid of, and you still love making me sweat."
"You're cute when you're freaking out," she said.
Marion poked her nose. "Trouble."
Sometimes, he couldn't believe they were in their forties.
Debra's smile hadn't changed. Their life felt the same as always. The quieter the days, the harder it was to feel time passing.
The island had a villa. The Eatons had planned to turn it into a resort, but Liza loved its vibe, so Fermin scrapped the idea and built a villa instead. It was never opened to the public.

Inside, everything was brand-new, with a faint jasmine scent.
"Not bad," Debra commented.
Holding her, Marion shook his head. "Lillian's grown. It's our time now."
He'd been waiting for Lillian to hit 18. She'd be an adult free to fly.
"You never talk about your childhood," Debra said. "Tell me about it."
Marion wasn't a talker. With strangers, he barely said a word.
"My childhood?" He licked his mouth. "That's a long story."
