"There's a lot to be said for islands," Dee mused as he and Ryo wandered along the beach early one morning. "Nowhere's far from anywhere else, no need to drive for days to get where ya wanna go… Even the pace of life seems slower, nobody rushin' to be elsewhere."
"That's partly because it's Sunday; most of the locals are probably still asleep."
"Maybe, but even durin' the week people just seem more relaxed. Must be the island lifestyle."
Ryo laughed. "You make it sound like we're in Hawaii, or the tropics, rather than England."
"Still an island; some of the same rules gotta apply."
"I expect it's different in winter, when it's cold and snowy, and everyone's in a hurry to get indoors."
"I guess." Dee paused, gazing towards the horizon. The tide was out, the sun was coming up, and while he usually preferred to laze around in bed as late as possible when on vacation, even he had to admit getting up before sunrise had been worthwhile. Everywhere was peaceful, not even a distant hum of traffic to disturb the quiet. "I wouldn't mind livin' on an island someday though."
"We'd have to win the lottery first."
