Out of all of the places Billie had stumbled upon, the waterfall had become one her favorites. The sound of the falling water pounding into the pool at its base always relaxed her and drowned out any stressful thoughts that were in her head. She visited frequently, enjoying the break from it all, from being a stranded islander. In the moments she would lie floating in the pond, her life would feel almost perfect again. Like she had never washed up onto the beach of this awful place. Like she was still curled up by the pool reading a book with her family.
"There'll be spring every year without you. England still will be here without you."
Billie's voice broke through the noise of the water, her soprano trilling over the small roar. It was nice, being able to sing freely here. Everywhere else seemed too open and quiet, like singing was impossible with the heavy weight of being alone sitting on her shoulders. But here, floating on her back in the water, her ears submerged, there was so much sound that it felt safe and right to add something extra.
"There'll be fruit on the tree. And a shore by the sea. There'll be crumpets and tea without you.
There was also a small bit of embarrassment that she associated with singing My Fair Lady in the middle of nowhere. It had always been her favorite movie, but it seemed out of place now, given her current predicament. Billie had often imagined herself in the place of Audrey Hepburn when she would watch it, seeing herself in a musical with all of the lights shining in her direction. A star. But that dream was gone, now. A pointless daydream. If they were looking for her, they wouldn't keep it up forever. Life would go on just as it always had, even without her. She was never getting off of this island.
Suddenly her song seemed much more personal.
"Art and music will thrive without you...
