Another day in paradise,” I whispered to myself, smiling as I stepped into the light of early dawn.
Taking a breath of salty air, I started humming a ditty I’d been toying with since the night before at the club. The tune had been stuck in my head all night, playing through my dreams like the background music of a motion picture. Now it was back again, waiting for me to bring it to life as a song. Songwriting—my one true weakness.
I held my koa ukulele a little tighter as it brushed against the side of my blue skirt. The gentle swishing sounded like brushes on a snare drum as I walked. The ukulele was practically brand new, and I did not want to accidentally drop it during the mile walk from my room at the club to my favorite little pier on the harbor.
