Lucille walked briskly up to Reginald grazing his left cheek with the palm of her hand. “I just can't take it reg! Know me or don't know me at all" she says. Lucille shifts her weight and turns around trickles of tears rolling down her cheeks past her mouth. She swiftly walks away holding back from turning around to Reginald’s pale white oblong face. "What to do" he wonders as he stares after his love as she gainfully entered the shadows. Reginald decides to let her go and give her time, continuing down the cobblestone walkway solemnly beside himself. Reginald gasps reliving the moments previous in his mind. Minutes later a familiar sound comes to form ring ring. Reginald reaches into his pocket and pulls out a slick black mobile and answers it "Hello" he says. Lucille responds in a high pitched tone on the other end "It's just shameful reg". Reginald responds in a forgive me tone "aw luc I didn't mean it" she interrupts "I will not tolerate that manner reg, I'm a lady "Lucille chastises.”But" he says, Lucille interrupts again "There's no excuse for that behavior, what are our friends going to think? A round the world journey without any purpose, reg are we not civilized?" Reginald responds in kind “You gotta live a little luc it's part of life if you don't take the opportunities that come to you, you'll miss out on them." Lucille scoffs at Reginald "What indignation and I can't believe in such falsies." Reginald responds "It's just one trip you and me love; no cares, no worries what's the harm in it?" Lucille ponders Reginald’s words, images sprawling through her mind of the two of them walking on a sandy beach on a hot summer’s day, breeze flows southward as they walk towards the cliffs just below the eventual sunset.
