Francis nodded and shrugged still brightly looking. "Of course, it could be on display to look at, or keep it hidden as a secret." He winked knowingly.

Then, the mood between the two hit. He watched them interact and felt bad as Edmund tried to get Mable to talk about her collection to him. He was quiet for a moment trying to offer the girl an apologetic look. He grabbed the other man's hand delicately. "It's alright. I haven't earned it." He said to her and then looked towards his friend. "You're right, to each their own." He could also understand how he didn't care since he hated the beach. He was now curious why the sister loved the beach but he hated it. He wanted to ask so much, but it wasn't the moment.

"I don't want to interrupt Mable. You were reading, right?" He noticed it was a bible and bit his lip to remain quiet. "It is really nice to meet you. But..." He looked back to his friend and didn't want to ruin their friendship but he was starting to feel unsettled. So.. "You know what. Why don't you show me where I can dry off? Isn't there like a wash room with towels? I think we could both use it." He said hopeful that there was one and he could get Edmund alone.
