She was never quite sure if he was flirting with her, but she thought he might be now, even in the face of the magazines and toilet paper. "Unless you had something particularly brilliant in mind. My day is wide open."

As most days on the island tended to be, but she'd never had a problem finding something to do or someone to spend time with.

Something she could appreciate, even when things might be hard for those around her.

Whether or not it was her problem was irrelevant. He had to know that by now, too.
