Word spread like wildfire across the island about the upcoming grand celebration.
Even the usually diligent volunteers perked up at the news.
As evening approached, they started to doll themselves up, adding island style accessories to their outfits.
Dinner had just wrapped up.
Even though it wasn't completely dark yet, a few ladies already showed up at Rosalynn's place.
"This is for the Island Chief, it's our traditional attire." McGill's wife handed over a well-wrapped dress to Felix. "We heard she's been having a rough time, so we invited her to our celebration. If she prays sincerely to our gods, they'll bless her."
Felix wasn't into supernatural stuff.
After McGill's wife and the others left, Felix took the dress to Rosalynn and relayed their message.
Rosalynn wasn't usually a fan of big gatherings.
She wasn't planning on attending the ceremony.
But their words unsettled her.
She wasn't a hardcore materialist.
Having lost many loved ones, and now not being able to find her partner, she wished for divine protection.
She hoped to find her partner.
"It’s beautiful." Rosalynn opened the traditional dress from McGill's wife, a long skirt.
On the white linen, there were beautiful flowers and colourful fish embroidered.
It was stunning.
"There seem to be a lot of people over there, are you sure you want to go?" Felix was worried. "It might not be safe."
"Aren't you still here?" Rosalynn answered without hesitation.
Felix was taken aback by her response.
"Why don't you say a prayer too? Ask for Molly's safety and happiness." Rosalynn continued, "Maybe their gods really do work miracles."
Felix was stunned.
Then he awkwardly nodded, "Alright, got it."
