Christine groggily woke up, feeling like she was still swaying.
She thought it was Dailey, that jerk, stretching and kicking around, so she reached out to push and kick back,
but hit nothing.
Opening her eyes, she discovered she was alone in a cabin bed.
A white dress shirt draped over the couch caught her eye, so she slipped into it and stepped outside.
The hallway was deserted.
The deck was just as empty.
Leaning on the railing, enjoying the breeze and the view, she suddenly noticed the cruise had stopped, with
ripples dancing on the water's surface. Curving her lips in amusement, she deliberately moved to one side, and
the ripples seemed to follow her lead.
Right up to where the gangway was.
From within those ripples emerged a figure, ascending the gangway.
Christine leaned casually against the railing, her gaze trailing from his handsface down along the sparkling
droplets to his well-defined muscles. Dailey, his hair drenched, swept it back and leaned in close to her, a thin
smile spreading across his features.

"Like what you see?"
Christine, with her nails perfectly manicured, teased the edge of his swim trunks back and forth.
Her eyes slightly lifted at the corners, a lazy allure in her gaze.
Withdrawing her hand, the snug edge of the trunks snapped back.
She laid her hand over his firm muscles.
"Looks good, feels even better."
Dailey wrapped his arm around her slender waist, pulling her close, whispering in her ear while playfully nibbling
on its tip.
"Can't get enough?"
Christine's nails lightly traced over his broad back.
"I'm going for a swim."
"I'll join you."
"No, | want to go alone."
As she began to unbutton the shirt, she asked, "There's no one around to see, right?"
Dailey had secured the area around them.
Primo and the others were on the lookout, ensuring no intrusion.
After that night's scare, he was extra cautious.
"Nobody."
Without further ado, Christine shed the shirt and dived into the sea.
Dailey, perched on the railing, watched a flicker of white move beneath the blue surface. Just when he thought
he'd cooled off from earlier, the heat started to rise again.
He had

used against him.
But now, the thought of living without Christine seemed unbearable.
Lost in thought, he looked back to the sea, only to find calm waters.
The white flicker had vanished.

He initially thought Christine was teasing him, but soon a sense of dread set in, and he dove into the sea.
She was sinking, motionless, clearly drowning.
He rushed down, pulling her up to the deck.
Covering her with a black shirt, he administered CPR, desperately trying to revive her.
But she remained unresponsive, her cheeks swelling and reddening.
He hurriedly carried her back to the cabin, urging the captain to head for shore.
Bella was waiting for the elevator when the doors opened to reveal Dailey carrying Christine out in a rush.
Seeing them both dripping wet, with Dailey looking particularly grim
Christine unresponsive, she quint
followed.
Raleigh Shaw, pushing a stroller, and Primo, with a female doctor, arrived shortly after. "What happened?" Bella
asked as she entered.
Raleigh stayed by the bedroom door, listening to Dailey's trembling voice, "We were just swimming, then
