With a final glance at the distant boats, Jason turned and made his way back inside with Samantha. The warmth of the ship’s corridors and the soft glow of lights soothed him. Reassuring himself it was nothing, he headed to their cabin, determined to get a peaceful night’s rest.
The next morning, Jason rose before Samantha and decided to pick up breakfast from the café so they could enjoy it in their room. Quietly slipping out of their cabin, he carried the lingering contentment of their anniversary night, a refreshing change after years of routine.
