A Thirst For Adventure
It was the eve of her 18th Birthday. One would think Yara Burns, daughter of Billionaire tycoon, Nicholas Burns, would be excited about becoming an adult. She herself thought she would be. However, losing her Mom to cancer just six months before had changed her perspective on life.
She no longer wanted the same things she had as a child - a lavish party that ended with her getting her her dream car, the Lamborghini. She knew her Dad would have gotten it for her if she'd simply asked, but no. That wasn't what she wanted... what she needed, anymore. If her mother's death had taught her one thing, it was that life was too short to be spent collecting trivial things.
What Yara wanted was to find herself. Who was she? Who was she really? What did she want?
I really need to get away... To a place where I can be normal... Not some billionaire's daughter... Just me. Just Yara.
The Camen Islands seemed like her best option. Her bags were already packed and her ticket, bought. She'd already gotten her father's approval, but she couldn't quite get herself to leave. Yara was scared. She'd never left home her entire life. At least, not alone.
What if something happens? What if I get lost, or hurt, or worse?
Yara tried to be brave, but she couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. She had to leave, though. She couldn't stand the stifling environment that was her home. She just had to go. Looking around one last time, Yara picked up her bags and headed for the airport.
