Turning to Luke, Natalia allowed a small smile to show on her face. "Thanks for coming along with me, Luke; I really appreciate it." The beach was eerily quiet, but the sound of the waves set Natalia at ease somewhat. However... "Luke... are you sure you want to come along?" She asked. "I'm just wondering, since... there's very little in this trek for you, you know?" She hated to even think it, but Luke had nothing to return to. As tempting as it was to stay here in Paixao with somebody she never thought she'd see again, she had her responsibilities back home.

"I want you to be happy." He deserved at least that much.
