She stood there by the veranda, enjoying the beautiful sight of the white sand beach just across their suite room. It’s the third day of their honeymoon vacation. She smiled to herself, feeling the cold morning breeze sipping through her pale skin. She tightened her grip on the metal railings as she leaned, closing her eyes.
