"Sandy was so lost in thought; she did not
even realize someone had sat down beside her until he put his hand on her
shoulder. Her heart stopped for a split second as she turned her head. It was
not who she had expected, or hoped for.
Getajob had noticed the bruises, and
he was taking a closer look at them with concern and anger in his eyes. It
wasn’t until then that the tears began to flow.
He sat quietly by her side as her body
shook with sobs, until there were no more tears left inside. When her eyes
finally dried, they both silently watched the sun move imperceptibly across the
sky, as tourists and locals gathered to share this slice of heaven on earth
around them.
When
she finally decided to go, Getajob walked
with her until her parked car came into view near the bottom of the hill. She blew
him a kiss before she got in. He nodded his head once, and returned to guard
his self-proclaimed domain..."
