Kapwa silang nakatayo sa baybayin. Kapwa may hawak na alak sa Isang kamay.

• Ozanne•Ozanne rolled over to her right and reached for her pillow. Surprisingly, it wasn’t soft as it used to be. With her eyes closed and mind half awake, she pressed it down. She had also pinched it, but no trace of softness is there, it was hard even. She rubbed her fingers up and down.'Since when did I have a pillow with it’s design engraved?’ Ozanne talked in her head.Tinalunton niya gamit ang hintuturo ang malalim at lumulikong mga linya. Inilapit niya pa ito at mas niyakap pa.“So you like my muscles, huh?” Unti-unting rumehistro ang boses sa isip ni Ozanne. Agad na kumunot ang kaniyang noo nang mapagtantong hindi ito pamilyar sa kaniya.Agad na bumukas ang kaniyang mga mata.

Good thing you’re here, I was just about to ask my secretary to deliver it to her place.” Nilapitan naman ito ni Mrs. Laurente. Kuryosong binuksan niya ito na siya namang tinulungan ni Yves. “It’s magnificent.” Nagliwanag ang mukha nito na tila bang may naisip. “I don’t think I can dropped by her place.
