“You cannot swim for new horizons until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.” -William Faulkner 23 DECEMBER 2021- BERMUDA The weather was quite clear now, and the arrangements were already done to board the ship to their last destination, Bermuda Island. Yes! Yippee! Wasn’t that great! It came as a shock to Adeline when she knew that William did not just lurk in darkness for twenty-one years, he did quite a lot of work, and Ace helped him along with none other than her grandpa! Yes! James Martinez helped him! You don’t believe it? Well, she also didn’t. A few hours ago, Adeline asked him out of curiosity. “How do you you have an army of bodyguards?” He was making some arrangements while sitting in the driver’s seat on the phone, and said: “James Martinez helped me.”
