Chapter 63

The car slowly came to a halt in front of the sandy beach. Xavier turned off the ignition and removed his seat belt slowly.

The wails that had turned to silent sobs had now left the crying girl deep in sleep. Xavier put his head on the steering wheel with his hand as support as he stared at Jessica.

"We are here," Xavier said clearing his throat and raising his head from the steering wheel.

"Why didn't you wake me up when we got here?"
