When they reached the cute little cafe, Brid was surprised to see all the options they had to choose from. There was practically every imaginable pastry and every way of preparing eggs, plus every kind of coffee and tea you could want. There was all kinds of fresh fruit, hot cereals and cold cereals. There was everything from French Toast and waffles to biscuits and gravy.

Stunned with all the choices, Brid went with her usual breakfast. She grabbed a cup of coffee, bagel with cream cheese and a fresh peach. She waited for Takahiro while he grabbed his food and then followed him to a table next to the windows. She took the seat with her back to the window without a thought. She always felt safer being able to watch everyone coming and going. They didn't say much during breakfast, mostly ate with bits of small talk thrown in between bites.

Just as they reached the exit to the cafe, Takahiro told her to wait and ran back to the drink counter. He returned few minutes later with two to-go cups of coffee and offered one to Brid. Brid took it and took a tentative sip, discovering it was another mocha latte.

"Thanks," she said with a smile. "Its perfect."

Takahiro grinned. "Thankfully the barista remembered what you had ordered," he admitted with a laugh.

They made their way to the shopping complex to grab Brid a better pair of flip-flops, a pair of sunglasses and a bottle of sunscreen. Then they made their way up to the top deck and the swimming pool. The pool area was fairly empty as it was still early, plus Brid noticed that while they had been eating, the ship had set sail. There were still people at the railings watching the land fade away.

"Did you want to go watch," Takahiro asked.

Brid shrugged. "Not really much to wave good bye to," she said dropping her stuff on one of the empty loungers. She kicked off her flip flops and jumped into the pool, pushing her red hair out of her face when she surfaced.

"How's the water?" Takahiro asked from the side.

"Refreshing," Brid said swimming closer. "Come on in!" She grabbed his hand and jerked, pulling him into the pool with her.
