Rosalynn turned toward the source of the sound.
A red-headed girl was rushing toward her.
Felix was immediately on high alert.
"Mandy."
Rosalynn heard her companion call her that.
"Are you here for the celebration too?"
"Yep." Rosalynn nodded.
"You look stunning!" Mandy said, looking Rosalynn up and down, not beating around the bush.
Rosalynn smiled and said, "You look pretty too."
Mandy blushed a bit, then said, "We've figured it out. You didn't threaten or intimidate the islanders to leave. In fact, you were advocating for them. It was Jerry who misled us! He just wanted to blow things out of proportion, to get more filming material!"
"Well, as long as it's all cleared up." Rosalynn responded casually.
"Rosalynn!"
Jaime' voice, filled with a hint of horror, came from not far away.
Before Rosalynn could react, Jaime rushed to her side and started running, pulling her along.
"Jaime, what the hell?" Felix was shocked and quickly followed them.
Once Jaime was sure Mandy hadn't followed, he finally stopped. "What were you doing talking to her! Don't talk to her, she's weird!"
"What happened?" Rosalynn asked curiously.
When had Jaime ever run away out of fear?
"She said she wants to be my girlfriend!" Jaime said in a hushed voice, clearly distressed. "And she’s been sending me some very straightforward texts!"
"Straightforward texts?" Rosalynn was shocked.
"She said she wants to touch my abs!" Jaime ran his fingers through his hair. "I really don't get it, I'm totally freaked out! I’m leaving this island tomorrow! It’s too horrifying!"
Considering Rosalynn's safety, Jaime didn't let her get too close.
Rosalynn could only watch from a distance for a while.
It wasn't until the crowd dispersed that she walked up to the prayer spot and picked up a bunch of white flowers set aside.
She bowed respectfully.
She closed her eyes and started to pray silently.
"Dear God, please protect my love, Wayne, and bring him back to me safe and sound. I swear I will treat all creatures on the island kindly, as well as those in the sea. Please... bring him back to me."
Tears welled up in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Rosalynn repeated the prayer over and over in her heart.
Not far away, a tall, lean man with a mask and a cane was hidden in the shadows.
His gaze fell on Rosalynn, who was praying devoutly.
