Back at the appartment, Lisa was trying to process everything that just happened. Angry, confusion, depression were not even close to describe what she was feeling.

Lisa laid down on her bed trying to relax. "He should just have said that right in the beginning". She then started to feel a bit guilty for saying those things to Brett "he better than anyone knows what's best for their project. Years of project and experience... But why to be in disagreement with Eddy? Why the change of mind in a space of a day?" Trying to understand it, was making her feel uneasy. She didn't even remembered if she yeld at him ot not...

The meeting later! Yes, she remembered. In a few hours Lisa had to be in a meeting with the archeologist director responsible for the ship wrecks studies along the autralian coast.

Four empty hours until that appointment. "Should I practice the violin? Nah, I'm too stressed. I wouldn't focus" Sleeping was the best decision she could do.

In order to relax properly, Lisa went to listen music to help her out.
Clair de Lune started playing on her phone, so she closed her eyes and felt her body getting heavy and heavy, melting into the bed. Fell asleep as soon the second movement went on. Dispite being asleep, Lisa's head was full of Brett for some reason she couldn't explain. The calm after the storm was overwhelming, making her heart light like a feather. Brett's face was present in her head and soul.

Brett turned off his phone, the usual he did when he wanted to be alone. At least he apologized to Eddy for what happened, however he didn't want to explain what made him act like that, but Eddy knows him too well. He will eventually talk.

Of course, the one place that would made him relax was staying by the beach watching, feeling, smelling, hearing the ocean. He could listen in his head clearly the piece "Le Mer". That was not what happened, actually. He couldn't even recall the first notes of the piece. He tried so hard to remember that the one piece that kept playing in his head was "Clair de Lune". He hates when this happens, but went with the flow anyways. He stood there until the twilight started. In the horizon was a boat, not so far away. Some lights were on, so he had some vision about what was going on. The one who seemed to be the captain was shouting at the others "It's almost night, we need to get that canon out quickly!"

Brett could see some divers disappearing into the water. Half hour had passed and the captain was freaking out because the night had settled. Brett kept wanting to know what was going to happen. The waves became more dangerous. Brett got up and decided to leave the beach side. He then saw tree divers coming out of water by the shore. All had ropes on their hands attached to something... On the water!

He then saw the effort they made. One of the divers asked for an extra pair of hands, so Brett jumped to help. He picked one of the ropes. The one in the middle, helping the other diver pushing.The diver offered gloves to protect his hands. Brett realized he was helping a woman but the face mask was not helping him to see her face.

They used all their strength dispite the dangerous waves and current. The canon was out and everyone was celebrating that victorious moment. Even Brett celebrated, not understanding quite well what just happened, but was for sure a moment of adventure. Everyone thanked each other and the woman turned to Brett while taking of her mask.

'Thank you Brett' said with a smile.

'Lisa!?'
