"We read every review."

Frank nodded.

"Every single one."

"They all said the same thing."

Storm felt her cheeks warm.

"They did?"

Frank smiled.

"They said Captain Storm Sinclair treats every passenger like family."

Rose squeezed her hand again.

"They were right."

A lump formed in my throat.

"I'm sorry your anniversary became..."

I searched for the right word.

"...this."

Rose smiled gently.

"My dear..."

"Our anniversary isn't about where we are."

She looked at Frank with the same love she'd shown him all week.

"It's about who we're with."

Frank kissed the top of her hand.

"Besides..."

He looked around the bridge.

"When we get home..."

"...who's going to believe this story?"

Hazel laughed.

"No one."

Frank nodded.

"Exactly."

"So we'll simply tell them the truth."

He pointed toward the horizon.
