S.S Queen’s Holiday Cruise

Chance

I smile and shrug, "Will it be worth it though?"

Katie

I nod right away. "So worth it."

Chance

I nod and smile wider, kissing her cheek, "What's next?"

Katie

"I know there is a comedy show and there is also this sport adventure thing there. They have this ropes course thingy." I say.

Chance

"Hm," I think. "How about a comedy show? We've had enough adventure for one day, don't you think?"

Katie

I nod. "I am so glad you did not pick that." I say smiling.

Chance

I smile and chuckle at her, "Finally, I'm getting something right."

Katie

I look at him for a moment. "What do you mean finally?" I ask

Chance

I shrug, "I just... sometimes it feels like I'm guessing at everything."

Katie

I frown. "Come with me, I have something for you." I say. I grip his hand and lead him to my room. I open the door and he goes and sits on the bed. I dig in the closet until I find what I am looking for. I walk over and sit next to him. I had him the wrapped gift and sigh. "This was ment to be one of your Christmas gifts, but you can open it now. He opens it and there is a scrap book. "These are all our best memories." I say.

Chance

I smile, staring down at the book in my hands. Tears burn behind my eyes, and I find I'm almost afraid to open it. Looking up at her, I don't know what to say.

Katie

I grip his hand as his eyes turn glassy. I kiss him softly. "It is going to be okay."I say,

Chance

I flash a smile and kiss her back, nodding, "I know. Thank you."

Katie

I smile as he looks at the cover. It has a photo of me oh his back and my arm around his neck. We are in the park at that moment. This has to be one of my favorite pictures.

Chance

I look at the picture, and my mind snaps back to that day. The memory plays in slow motion, and I hear nothing but Katie's laughter and the snap of the camera. Blinking out of it, I pull her close and wrap an arm around her waist.
