Staying there totally agreeable in Pilipo's home, reality of that announcement turned out to be clear. Without our monitoring it, Moloka'i had worked its enchantment on us. Our enormous city anxiety had vanished, permitting Moloka'i's appeal and the agreeableness of her kin to take us back to earth- - the genuine earth of blooms and ocean and sky, of grass underneath our feet and the tart sweet possess an aroma similar to plumeria in our nostrils. The island pace had gotten us, a pace slower and the sky is the limit from there "island" than Oahu or Maui would ever be. It had taken us back to our faculties.

Sadly, our time was just about up. In this way, the following night, our last night on the island, we chose to do an arrangement.

At ten PM sharp we wound up in Kaunakakai, stopped opposite Imamura's general store. The road was dim and abandoned. We escaped the auto, glanced around to make certain we weren't being watched, then advanced down an obscured rear way to the back of Kanemitsu's Bakery. The dividers of the shadowed rear way were lined with graffiti, and a vacant lager bottle lay on the littered asphalt. In the high windows at the back of the pastry shop, I could see roof fans turning, and the weak sound of tinny radio music wafted through the bug screens. A solitary uncovered light shone over a blue, paint-chipped entryway.

I spoiled my mettle and thumped on the entryway, hesitantly at to start with, then, when there was no answer, all the more commandingly. Strides drew closer from inside the building. I remained back and held my breath. The entryway opened unexpectedly and I ended up confronting a thin, dull cleaned man wearing flip-flop shoes, dim jeans, a dim blue T-shirt, and a glower. He was secured head to toe in flour.

I gulped.

"Bread?" I asked probably.

The man gestured. "What do you need?" His voice was abrupt.

"What do you got?" I asked, adhering to the script I'd been given.

He frowned and murmured a couple of assortments. Most were undecipherable, yet I definitely recognized what to arrange.

"Cinnamon spread," I said.
