The inayofuata day, Una and Everett went to the hotel lobby for breakfast. "Look at all the tropical matunda they serve here!" Una alisema as they approached the buffet.
Everett smiled to see her enthusiasm. He had woken up this morning still a little worried. He helped her to fill up her plate, piled high as usual, and carry it to the table.
"Let's go swimming today," Una alisema as they sat down. "I can't wait to see the beach!"
"It looks a bit cloudy," Everett pointed out, glancing uneasily at the sky. "Maybe we should plan an indoor activity for today. We could probably reach a shopping centre before the rain hits."
"It's cloudy now," Una agreed. "But I'm sure it'll pass kwa the time we're finished eating. I did want to go swimming our first day!"
"Well, okay," Everett agreed. "I wouldn't mind swimming today myself."
They finished their breakfast, lingering over the meza, jedwali as they talked and laughed. When they had finished around an saa later, they went to their hotel room to change into their swim clothes. Everett glanced uneasily out the window as Una decided which mkufu would look best with her white lacy beach, pwani coverup. It was even greyer and gloomier out there than before.
"It'll clear up," Una assured him. "Come on, let's go see the beach!"
It was windy out, and baridi than either of them has expected it to be on their trip to Florida. The air was a bit damp, and the beach, pwani was almost empty.
"We have it all to ourselves!" alisema Una happily.
Everett glanced at the sky. "I'm not surprised... Maybe we shouldn't go in the water just yet."
Una shrugged. "Oh, okay. We'll wait until it clears up. I'm sure it won't be...."
Before she could finish her sentence, the skies opened up and the rain began to pour.

Some time later, Una and Everett were settled in a cozy small cafe eating sandwiches and sipping pumpkin, boga spice lattes while foil cutouts of cute ghosts and pumpkins hung from the walls around them.
"Thanks again, Una," Everett alisema after a time. "I just... I don't like small spaces very much."
Una smiled at him and reached across the meza, jedwali to touch his hand. "Hey, wewe saved my life once. It's time I saved yours."
They sat in a comfortable silence for a bit, enjoying this much calmer stage of their Halloween celebrations. Una was first to break it.
"I can't believe we solved a real mystery! I can't wait to go nyumbani and tell Mother what the secret of the haunted house is."
"Yes," Everett smiled at her. "The secret is my talented actress and her ghost impression."
Una beamed.
