Suffocating feeling

Maverick's car stopped at the beach where Jeslyn asked him to take her. Getting down from the car, she walked soullessly to the bank and slumped on the sand, staring long and hard at the waters. 

Maverick stayed in his car and didn't get down. A while ago she was determined to ruin her stepmother, but after watching the CCTV footage of how her stepmother was hit, she suddenly turned into a chicken and asked that he take her here. 

While looking at the waters, Jeslyn wiped a teardrop and said: "I remembered when I first discovered that my mum died. I ran away from the hospital and came here. You told me to come home with you and that you would take care of me. I was skeptical and didn't want to go with you but I still did anyway.
