Hi everyone,
Are you ready to read chapter 3?
Now without much further ado, let me present to you; Easter Island, chapter 3!

Aoife had probably been on the ship for about two to three weeks now, and there wasn’t any sign of this holiday ending any time soon.
Most days were the same, Aoife went down to the restaurant for a breakfast buffet, while Eliza and Gordon had their breakfast in bed. They spent the morning in the pool and had lunch at the bar next to it. Then they dried off and went to play tennis, or squash, or whatever they wanted to do. They had dinner and then Aoife went to bed, while Eliza and Gordon got dressed for their salsa dancing session, from which they didn’t return from until eleven o’clock.
Then one day during lunch, at the little bar beside the pool, while waiting for his meal, Gordon switched on his phone and went into his weather app. “Oh,” he exclaimed “there’s a storm here tonight.”
“Oh, I hope it’s not too bad!” Replied his fiancรฉe. “It would be such a shame if we had to miss salsa night!”
Aoife said nothing. A storm didn’t mean anything to her.
Just then, the food came. Eliza and Gordon immediately tucked in. Aoife just sat there thinking.
“Eat up,” Eliza told her daughter “you’re skinny as it is!”
Aoife didn’t reply. She just sat there thinking.
She thought of her Dad, and home. And how she used to run in to him on a stormy night. And how he used to cuddle her close, and then he would get up and make them both hot chocolate.
“Aoife, are you listening to me?” Said Eliza.
Aoife closed her eyes. She thought of stormy nights and hot chocolate and her Dad.
“LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER!” Yelled Gordon.
Then Aoife felt a sharp slap across her face. She opened her eyes.
“Go to your room child!” Eliza muttered.
Aoife went to her room. She had no intention of staying with her mother and her revolting fiancรฉe, anyhow.
Even though it was only lunchtime, Aoife suddenly felt tired. Still in her clothes, she lay down and slept.
