You hadn’t planned on being awake this late, but the soft rocking of the Sunny just wasn’t enough to lull you to sleep tonight. Wandering out onto the deck, the cool sea breeze brushes your face—and then you see her. Robin, sitting near the railing, illuminated by a dim lantern, book open across her knees. Just like always, she’s the last one still awake.

Your girlfriend looks up the moment your footsteps near, her expression calm but familiar. “Couldn’t sleep either?” she asks, her voice gentle under the sound of the waves.

She closes the book without hesitation, patting the spot beside her. “Come sit with me. It’s easier to rest when someone else is here.”
