Arriving at the club, Pandy went directly to the bar, worried that the heat was so to SondraBeth But as she took a seat and the bartender flipped a cocktail napkin in front of her, the world seeht itself on its axis

“Hey,” said the bartender

“Hey, yourself,” Pandy said

“The usual? Rum punch?”

“Sure,” Pandy said with a s your cares away,” she added as the bartender replied with the island’s mantra:

“You got so better to do?”

“Nope,” Pandy said hopefully, glancing behind her for SondraBeth

She saw several iguanas, but SondraBeth seeone into the bathrooht with relief “To the heat,” Pandy said, raising her glass with one hand and wiping the back of her sweaty neck with the other

She looked out at the view The ht into the sky The bartender turned to gaze at the ocean as well “That’s what I call ‘the worays lay their eggs I’ve seen hundreds of baby sharks out there the size of your little finger And you want to know the weirdest part?”

“Sure,” Pandy said, sipping at the fruity cocktail

“They’re born with all their teeth Rows and rows of teeth the size of pinheads”

“Incredible,” Pandy said

She yawned and, picking up her glass, walked out to the pool Dropping her stuff onto a chaise, she waded slowly into the water She curved her hands like a spout and dove under the surface She pretended she was a baby shark, swi happily underwater When her breath ran out, she popped up to find SondraBeth standing at the edge of the pool, loo over her

“I just remembered why I hate Lala Grinada so much”

“Really?” Pandy’s otten about Lala by now
