Speaker A

The ocean doesn't care about sickness or life and death. It doesn't care for our struggles or our pain or that I would have given everything for one last summer like this, one last sunrise.

Speaker A

Oh my God. Stop it, don't. I'm so sorry. Can I help you? Uh, I'm so sorry.

Speaker A

You were rude to stare, señorita. I wasn't. I wasn't staring. I was, uh, uh, hello, big spender.

Speaker A

I was looking behind you. Listen, señorita, you can look, but no touch. Do I need to report you?

Speaker A

No, don't be ridiculous. I'm on my way home. Okay, well, I'm going to go.

Speaker A

Yeah, you should go. Excuse me? I said, let's see what you got, Miss America.

Speaker A

It's not that way. It's not that way either. Uh, you should go. Did I do something? Do you have a problem?

Speaker A

I do have a problem. This is a local beach. We prefer when tourists don't stare at us while we sunbathe. You're lost, Miss America.

Speaker A

No, I'm not. I'm so sorry. I hadn't realized it was locals-only beach. I just wanted to swim.

Speaker A

Well, I think you might find the pool at the Marisma Hotel more comfortable. I'm just taking in these beautiful winding streets.

Speaker A

Uh-huh. Mhm. You can't deny it or you're just going to admit it. Why?

Speaker A

Am I distracting you? And ask for my help. I'm fine. I'm fine, thank you.

Speaker A

I'm going to go. Also, what are you doing? Are you stalking me?

Speaker A

Oh, yes. You made such a strong impression by running into me at the beach, and I just couldn't stay away.

Speaker A

Are you sure you're okay? Yeah. Yeah? I'm fine. I just need directions to the Marisma Hotel.

Speaker A

You can hold it so you know I'm not about to murder you. I just can't drink tequila.

Speaker A

Maybe there was something in your drink. No. No, I'm okay. I know Julian and he, yes, he can be a bit moody sometimes but in his defense, he's got a lot going on right now.

Speaker A

Wait, you know him? It's a small island, babe. You know, good-looking men murder women.

Speaker A

Although they're usually quite charming, so I guess that rules you out. So, you think I'm good-looking?

Speaker A

You're a fisherman? Mhm. Oh. It's my family business. I grew up on the water.

Speaker A

It's what I know. Let's try it. The fisheries on our island are suffering because of the tourists and the commercial companies are hurting the island.

Speaker A

We call this ensaimada. It's like a croissant but better. Much better. I hadn't realized how hungry I was.

Speaker A

Thank you. So, what about you? I'm a dancer. Exotic? If you want, maybe we could go and get something to eat.

Speaker A

Are you asking me out? Rich girls can be sad, too. We should put that on a t-shirt.

Speaker A

Yeah, we should do that. What are you doing? Come on. I can help you if you can swim. I can swim.

Speaker A

Hey. I've been hanging out with Amara. Oh, right. Yeah, yeah. And some of her friends.

Speaker A

You changed your mind pretty quick. You couldn't stay away for more than two minutes.

Speaker A

No, I just like my phone back. This is good. This is how I wanted to try new things, you know.

Speaker A

Well, as long as you're not falling in love with some hot Spaniard. What? Already?

Speaker A

It's like it's the last summer I'll ever have. Mhm. Mhm. That's a good way to live.

Speaker A

Mhm. Write what up. What was next on your list? Go to bed, brush your teeth.

Speaker A

Never. Look, I'm sorry I didn't call you. Or to not eat your vegetables?

Speaker A

Maybe. Are you okay? What happened? Carlos, he's a loan shark. I didn't call you because I'm not safe to be around.

Speaker A

Until things are settled with Carlos, I just... We have to be careful. Okay? Or to make out with a hot stranger? I could pretend you're hot.

Speaker A

Are there sharks in there? Of course. It's the sea. I don't know. Look at our lives here.

Speaker A

Mhm. Sure, we have problems, but we are more than happy with what we have.

Speaker A

Don't worry. I don't scare that easily. I thought you didn't scare easily. Can I talk to you about something?

Speaker A

What else could we want? Even Miss America ended up on the wrong beach. Sometimes, you just have to enjoy what you have while you have it.

Speaker A

Does that make sense? More than you know. Being here, this place, this summer, it's really made me think about where I want to be.

Speaker A

Well, there's never been anywhere else on Earth I want to be than right here.

Speaker A

What is happening on that island? Tell me everything. Dude, I think I'm in love. Like on a cellular level.

Speaker A

Wait. Do you know the Garcias? Yeah, that's the company we're buying. Julian! Julian, what happened?

Speaker A

Who did this? It was Carlos last night. For my father, it was the final straw.

Speaker A

He signed with the Red Wing. That's the boy you're seeing. A Garcia? Did you figure something out for the Garcias?

Speaker A

Not yet, but I am working on it, okay? It's all my fault. No, it's not.

Speaker A

Oh, and my mom works for Redwin. You promised you would help them. Honey, I did. They had a sinking business and I threw them a lifeline.

Speaker A

Oh, so now they have money and things and no pride and no roots, just like you.

Speaker A

I'm so sorry. I just found out. Leave, right? It is such an important night.

Speaker A

We only have a few days left here and I need you. What? But I just... Liv.

Speaker A

You offered me... You touch her again, I'll kill you. You understand? You okay? You okay? You sure?

Speaker A

I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm really sorry about not telling you about my mom. I really thought I could fix it.

Speaker A

It's okay. It's not your fault. I've never seen the sunrise. What do you mean?

Speaker A

From the water. Or anywhere. Well, I can get you the best seat in the house.

Speaker A

When did you stop taking your meds? I have tuberous sclerosis. A few days after we arrived.

Speaker A

Cause of the epilepsy. What can we do? Is there a treatment?

Speaker A

Yes and no. Medication helps, but it's never been consistent. What are you doing? Let's go. We're leaving.

Speaker A

No, no, we're not leaving. No. No, please. I saw the sunrise for the first time.

Speaker A

Is surgery an option? Yes, but there's too much risk. I want to stay here.

Speaker A

I want to live. I could lose my memory. So, would that be the worst thing?

Speaker A

You would be healthy. Right. Sitting in a dark cave with you. Because you make darkness feel peaceful.

Speaker A

I understand the risks. I love you, Raya. But while there is a chance that we could save her, and a chance she could have a normal life, I love you, too.

Speaker A

I beg you to take it. She was worried about losing the best parts of her life. But if this works, her favorite memories will be the ones ahead of her.

Speaker A

My memories come back to me one by one. I feel like I could touch him.

Speaker A

Someone I used to know. How do I look? I wonder. Will fate keep following me here?
