Couples and families had been walking up and down the beach all day.
One of the couples was Denton and Clarissa.
She trailed the two couples up shallow stairs and took the seat beside Evelyn not occupied by Romas.
While the couples were arranging themselves and the musicians tuning up, Pierre sat down with his little partner.
Several of the rooms on either side were open, revealing couples in various stages of undress, a room with junkies shooting up and potheads lighting up, and a room filled with what looked like people sleeping.
