Excerpt
"I found myself staring at Orrie's considerable good looks. I gave him a quick kiss.
"Mahalo," he replied grasping me in a tight bear hug that attracte knowing looks from passerby's.
"That old dragon's got y'all learning Hawaiian, eh?"
"What's in the bag?" I asked him, staring at the huge Army duffle bag he was carrying.
"Everything we need for today, Sugar. Come on. The bus for Makaha leaves from the main bus loop in thirty minutes."
"Makaha?" I queried softly, not wanting to be heard by others. "There's nothing out there burt surf and sand."
"Deserted beaches," Orrie explained quietly, Finally I'm going to have you all alone."

Ah, such a lovely place, Hawaii. This reminds me of the time our Elementary School teacher had all of us little girls dress in homemade hula skirts and learn the traditional Hawaiian dance. Whenever I see Hawaiian dance, I see pure innocence.
