Throughout the trip to the beach, Alonso kept throwing side glances at me through the rearview mirror_ he had to drive us to the beach instead of Luther. I knew it was because of the presence of Paisley that he wasn't badgering me with questions or attempting to stop me from drowning in my own head.
Getting to the beach was a major comfort to me_ as I wanted to get out of their presence by all means, I climbed down and strutted to the shimmering blue depth to look out, my flair nude-colored skirt flying around me.
