"I'm just looking after it for a friend."Both girls started laughing again, this time more loudly, and Robbie started to worry that some of the other ...beach-goers would take notice. In the past half hour, a number of other people had settled nearby, and Robbie didn't want any more attention focused on him and the camera.Emma pointed the camera at Robbie and took a photo. Snap. Then she took one of Chayla, who stuck out her tongue and made a V gesture with her fingers. Snap. Finally, she turned. “It won’t affect us, will it – you knowing who I really am?”She thought for a moment. “No,” she said. “I think we’ve gone beyond that. After what we’ve been through, it doesn’t matter any more.”Then it was time for her to go.“Come for dinner tonight?” she asked uncertainly.“Thank you,” said Victor with a broad smile. “I’ll bring a bottle I’ve been saving for you.”The meal was as usual delicious and she appreciated the wine he brought. He played with the children for an hour, and Susan joined in. I was by myself now, and as I sat there, it started to get late in the afternoon, but I was obsessed as I continued to watch this young lady in the blue bikini, hoping to get a better look at her, but suddenly they started to load up their golf cart to leave. I was distraught, thinking I may never see her again, because that’s usually how it works at the beach, but as they finished loading up the cart, I could see the young girl was going to be riding on the back, and they’d be driving right. There I was pulling out my iPod prepared to look up a little Eminem for the trip, when it began to rain. No, it didn’t begin to rain, it began to pour, like someone was dropping an ocean from the sky. For a split second I was frustrated with the situation, I had left my umbrella in my car. It was right at that moment I remembered a quote I had read somewhere, ‘Sometimes God calms the storm, Sometimes He lets the storm rage and calms His child.’ I realized then, I wasn’t really upset. I didn’t.
