you required. If you need anything else at all, just let me know. I will be your procurer.”
Tanto did the introductions to the house staff and their new security team.
Melody was about to ask if they had any news about David or Mark and their families when Jonathan, while searching her emotions for excess upsetness felt her desire to know. With a hug he whispered, “My love they are to know nothing, least they fear and go away as well.”
“Ohhh, okay.”
They were soon walking a trail that was wide but covered overhead with natural flora growing all around. Soon they came to a beautiful natural pool and waterfall, cascading down a tall rock formation that went more than a hundred feet overhead. To the side of the waterfall Melody blinked twice and wasn’t sure if it was what she thought she was seeing. A wide slightly tinted doorway led into what looked like a moss covered rock.
“This is the pool area, very private. Filtered sun warms it along with a heater for cooler days. This way to your new home,” Tanto urged as he opened the glass door in the rock wall.
The house was built into and under a small mountain. Shafts had been drilled to allow sun light in many places. They were angled so from morn to sunset they had light coming inside. The upper holes were small, too small for a person to enter, but they widened as they came down to their ceiling, giving it a light airy feel.
Jonathan had donned his dark glasses before they left the limo and kept them on now. Melody was wondering why?
After Tanto left them in the great room, having given them a brief tour of the place, per Jon’s request, a young woman came in asking, “Would you care to be served breakfast now?”
Melody agreed. She was sure Jon could hear her stomach rumble.

NEW HOME
Melody was being escorted to the breakfast room by Jonathan who seemed determined to keep a hand on her somewhere, she noted with a bit of sadness. He was so upset, she decided, his whole world was being rocked so he was clinging to her for some stability. She needed him just as much she realized as she pat his hand on her arm.
He pulled out her chair for her and they both sat looking out at the breathtaking view of the beach below them. Their new house was carved out of the mountain high above the beach, but close enough to the water for them to enjoy the panoramic view from the East and on the other side of the room to the West.
On the western side they had the jungle and smaller hills to look past before they caught a glimpse of the place where the sun would surely set on the ocean.
Melody couldn’t tell how many miles away they were from the opposite coast time, but it wasn’t too far, less than ten miles she guessed.
A servant came into the room after they had begun feasting on the fresh cut fruit in the small halved pineapples. There were also slices of thin cut lean boiled ham rolled up with cream cheese and diced onion on the side platter. The servant quietly came to Jonathan J and asked a question to which Jonathan nodded and smiled.
“Darling, we both have a lot to discover about our new home. Watch this,” he said as he picked up her hand and led her to the center of the room. They both looked at the man who was dialing something on an electronic pad sitting on a buffet sideboard.
The view out the window altered with beveled louvers made of a grayish brown material being moved up and down or sideways. Another touch of a button and beach wind began to blow into the room, warm and filling the room with the wonderful salty sea air.
Another dial dimmed the light coming into the room until it had darkened and
