Aldana Candi thought about these miscellaneous things, slowly closed her eyes, and fell asleep amid the noise.
This sleep lasted straight until the afternoon.
The brilliant sunset filled the sky, painting the entire world in a resplendent hue, even her dim straw hut was glazed with a layer of pink.
Aldana Candi slowly sat up from the bed, looked around but did not see Philip Shaw's figure. She reached for the cane at the bedside, supported herself as she got out of bed, and walked to the door.
A sudden distant sound of a flute came from the coast, accompanied by the children's exclamations of "Wow," which caught Aldana Candi's attention.
She raised her head to look towards the beach; the sea had already turned pink from the sunset. A man sat on the rocks with his back to her, surrounded by a group of children, from whom came occasional cheers.
