Skylee smiled happily, glad to see the excitement on Daisy's face. She had found something that would make the nervous girl comfortable and that would help combat the anxiety, at least from what she knew of dealing with anxious animals. Plus movie theaters were often a lot more low key and not as likely to be crowded.

"Sounds good to me," Sam said with a smile and Skylee nodded her agreement.

Sam stood, offering Skylee his hand. She put her small one in his large, strong palm and let him pull her to her feet. She expected him to release her hand as soon as she stood, but was pleasantly surprised and happy when he kept it tucked in his. He reached back and grabbed his coffee mug and downed the last sips of his coffee. Then smiled at Skylee, warmth showing in his hazel eyes.

"Lead the way then Tom," Sam said.

Skylee loved the sound of his deep, soothing voice. She could just sit for hours and listen to him talk, let his voice roll over her. It soothed her, made her safe, like all of her demons couldn't touch her. And that wasn't something she had felt in nearly two years. It was a feeling she could get used to, but she knew she shouldn't. This was all a ruse and at the end of their cruise they would go their separate ways and he would forget her. She though would hold onto these memories, bringing them out in her darkest times.
