The successivo few days were spent in any number of spontaneous activities. While the rain poured down outside, Everett and Una did an impromptu dance party in their hotel room, and they sang their favourite songs and invented crazy moves and Everett picked up Una and spun her around as their grand finale.
They frequented the buffet. It turned out the hotel had an all-day buffet, and very few people were using it when it wasn't officially mealtime. They enjoyed sampling all the snacks and Una discovered a new favourite key lime, calce tart. One time at the buffet, Una and Everett even struck up a conversation with another young couple who were there on a business trip, and had planned to make a vacation out of it too before the rain came down. The other young couple loved Film too, and Everett and Una detto later to each other that they might never have met if it hadn't been raining and they hadn't been the only people in the buffet room.
They spent a lot of time in the swimming pool - "I got to spend my vacation swimming after all!" Una detto happily. She and Everett tossed a ball around in the water, splashed each other, and tried to see who could hold their breath for the longest underwater.
On one of the days, Una and Everett braved the rain just long enough to get a taxi to a shopping centre. They spent the whole giorno there, eating a delicious lunch of chicken insalata in a small cafe lined with indoor palm trees. Una bought a lot of new dresses and jewelery, and Everett found a video camera and a some new board and card games.
"Do te want a game giorno tomorrow?" he asked her, holding up the games with a grin.
Una gave him her best you're-on smile. "Let's do it!"
So the successivo giorno was spent doing just that.
Una and Everett had the most fun week they had had in a long time, and almost none of it was spent doing what they had intended when they'd booked a weeklong honeymoon in Florida. On the second-to-last night, as Everett tuned into the weather forecast for the successivo morning before he and Una turned in for the night, he found himself thinking it really didn't matter what the weather did tomorrow.
"The rain isn't going to be as heavy tomorrow," he told Una, who was stretched out on the hotel letto Leggere a magazine. "But it's still going to last all day."
"Oh, good," Una replied with a smile. "Because there's one thing we haven't done on this trip yet - splash in puddles!"

Ferdinand's parents did not object to him staying with Bruce to find Anjanette. In fact, they encouraged it. Although he was worried about Anjanette, Ferdinand knew he had to sleep so that he would not be too tired to look for Anjanette. The successivo morning, Ferdinand and Bruce got up. After a quick breakfast, they started their cerca for Anjanette. They called her name, but there was no answer. Ferdinand said, "I hope nothing bad has happened to her." Bruce said, "Easy, Ferdinand.

Ferdinand gazed out the window of his parents' car, enjoying the view of the woods lining the road, lit da the occasional streetlamp. He and his family had visited with his uncle and were pleased to know that everything was going to be fine with him. His uncle had been able to sit up in letto and joke with them and everything. He and Ferdinand's mother had really gotten going with their jokes, and Ferdinand and his father had spent much of the time laughing.

His father pulled onto the...

Anjanette and Uncle Bruce set out to look for Ferdinand. They went to the places where Anjanette and Ferdinand liked to go, but there was no sign of him. They even asked locals if they had seen him. Nobody had seen him. Anjanette then said, "Uncle Bruce, I think Ferdinand went into the woods. Otherwise, someone would have seen him." Uncle Bruce nodded. "Maybe you're right. It's a good thing I packed some essentials." The two went into the woods. Pretty soon, Anjanette wondered away from her uncle, forgetting that he told her to stay close. It was getting dark.

"Uncle Bruce! Uncle Bruce!"
Uncle Bruce, who had just been starting to think about making his own cena since Anjanette had told him she wouldn't be home for cena tonight, looked up in surprise. "Anjanette?"
His niece was out of breath and wild-eyed. "Uncle Bruce - something's happened to Ferdinand! He's gone missing!"
Uncle Bruce took Anjanette da the shoulders. "Calm down, Anjanette. Take a deep breath, sit down, and tell me what happened."
Anjanette took a few breaths, but she was too upset to sit. "I called Ferdinand on his phone to let him know I was done work, and he didn't answer. He...

One night in late fall, Anjanette and Ferdinand were having a sleepover at Ferdinand's house. Unlike most of their past sleepovers, it was just the two of them, and Ferdinand's mother had actually encouraged them to build a fort of blankets in the living room and eat popcorn and cupcakes on her floor and stay up till all hours of the morning with a flashlight telling stories.

"What lead te to the club where te first saw us, Henry?" Les asked. Henry replied, "One of my neighbors told me that a rock band called A Wave Tossed in the Ocean was going to perform at the club that had opened the precedente week. I thought that the name sounded interesting, so I asked him what kind of rock music, and he said, 'I think it's stuff from the sixties and seventies.' I was eager to hear the songs from my youth. When I saw te perform, I knew te were the right fit. Of course, te know how we met backstage." Jimmy said, "And the rest is history." Everyone laughed. "Yes," Henry said. "The rest is history." Just then, Felix looked at his cellphone and said, "It's 10:00, guys." Henry said, "We better go to bed. We've got a big giorno tomorrow." The boys all said, "Okay. Good night, Henry." Henry smiled and said, "Good night, boys. Pleasant dreams." With that, they retired to their beds for the night.

"After that, I made sure to stay in touch with my mother," Henry went on. "I called her regularly and flew in to see her as often as I could. I'm happy to say I was able to be with her in her final days."
The boys smiled a little sadly.
"My life was fairly normal after that," Henry recalled. "I continued to travel and to work as a Musica producer. But then one giorno I decided to retire. I was getting on in years, I thought, and surely it was time to stop working."
"But it wasn't?" Felix prompted.
Henry shook his head with a smile. "I soon discovered I could never leave the Musica business behind. I'd...

The boys' looked sympathetic. They all detto in unison, "Oh, no! Not another tragedy!" Henry nodded. "Yes," he said, "another tragedy." He sighed. "It was the summer of 1982. I had been producing a new record, and I was told that I had a phone call. I answered it. It happened to be my mother." He held back some tears.

"So what happened after te decided to stop being a hippie?" Jimmy prompted him.
Henry settled back in his chair. "Well, around that time I was beginning to get tired of always being on the road. I loved the adventure in my youth, but I started to miss not having a proper home - o neighbourhood, since I knew da then I wouldn't be getting married. I was just over thirty when I decided to quit being a roadie. My travels had taken me to North Carolina, and I knew I wanted to settle there.

After a moment of crying together, Henry and the boys dried their tears. Henry said, "Okay, how about something happier now?" The boys nodded "yes". Henry said, "A anno had passed. It was 1967, the Summer of Love. Arguably, that's when the hippie scene started." Charles asked, "Were te a hippie back in the day?" Henry said, "Well, kind of. I dabbled in the scene a bit.

The band gathered round to listen closely, drawn in da the faraway, almost dreamy smile that had come over Henry's face.
"It was also in '65, I believe, on a warm summer's day. She was sitting successivo to me in the stands, the prettiest girl te ever saw. And so excited to see the Beatles, te could feel it. Her smile made te want to smile too." Henry paused for a moment as if savouring the memory of all these details.

A few hours later, Una and Everett were comfortably snuggled up together on the couch, sharing the last of Una's chocolates which lay in the open box between them, as the credits rolled on the movie.
"That was so good," murmured Una, her head resting on Everett's shoulder. "You know - I was looking inoltrare, avanti to your plans, whatever they were going to be, but I was really hoping we'd be able to watch this."
Everett gave a small laugh and shook his head. "I wish I'd known. I could have saved myself all this trouble."
Una grinned. "This year, our Valentine's giorno plans were on me," she said. "Next anno I expect it to be your turn."
Everett felt a warm rush at the thought of successivo year, that Una was so certain they would be celebrating Valentine's giorno together successivo year. But then... of course, Everett though. He wouldn't have considered anything different.
"I Amore you, Una," he said.
"I Amore te too, Everett," she said.
