Tanaga pondered what to do for a few minutes before taking action. He quickly left the yacht and went after Ashley. As he approached her, he could hear her talking to herself.
She quietly moaned as she covered her face with her palms. She didn't see Tanaga behind her, where he was watching her, trying to hear what she was saying.
"Mom, Dad…Big Brothers…are you worried about me? I'm so sorry I haven't called. I'll find a way to call you tomorrow, I promise." She said aloud even though she knew they couldn't hear her. She continued to cry, missing her family more than she could bear.
Tanaga shook his head. He didn't know what to do or say. He didn't understand why she was so upset. He wished he could read her mind.
He went over the events of the day in his head. Had he done something or said something that had hurt her feelings? He didn't think he had. So, he just stood there helplessly, letting Ashley cry her heart out, waiting for her to quiet down.
