The afternoon sun, soft and golden, filled the island air with a fresh and natural warmth. The warm sunlight weaved through the faintest of breezes, soothing, lingering, the aroma of early winter enveloping everything in the world.

Luther and Joyce joined in, receiving everyone's blessings.

"But, Kane might not leave until tonight," Joyce said, "Are you sure you want to go with him?"

Anderson nodded, "Yes, I'll wait a bit longer."
