Ró finds school impossible. She knows people think she''s shy - and stupid. But when she goes to the bay each afternoon to watch the dolphin leap through the water, she finds the strength to keep going. Then the dolphin disappears, and everything starts falling apart.

Can Ró overcome her fears to find him?

I watch each rise and dip of wave

know Sunny must be out there

somewhere

wonder if he''s missing me.

I remember that moment

when I touched his skin

and know that finding him

is the only thing

that can make

the aching stop

make me feel

not broken.
