A HOTEL STAFF, JASMIN dressed in the resorts uniform is standing on the dock, awaiting the arrival of the ferry.
A ferry pulls up to the dock, with Royston in tow.
Royston carefully disembarks from the ferry and Jasmin approaches him. "Welcome back, Mr Ellis. Here is your key to your villa. Everything has been set up as usual. Enjoy your stay."
Royston takes the key from Jasmin with a brief smile and heads towards his villa.
The FERRY CAPTAIN, SALIM stands beside Jasmin. "Every year, he comes back. So sad."
"it is sad indeed, but hopefully he will find peace this year," Jasmin replies.
Salim and Jasmin watch Royston's retreating back.
