Jake and Eliana stood at the railing of the massive cruise ship, the ocean stretching endlessly before them. The sun was setting, casting a golden glow over the water. It was just the two of them this time—no Demitra, no Sunday—just a rare sibling getaway.

Eliana leaned against the railing, sipping her fancy fruit drink. “This is so much better without them,” she sighed dramatically.

Jake smirked. “Yeah, until you realize you have no one to blame everything on me for”

Eliana grinned. “True, but don’t worry—I can still bully you all by myself.”

Jake rolled his eyes, but before he could respond, Eliana suddenly gasped. “Oh my god, look at that!” She pointed excitedly at a dolphin jumping in the distance.

Jake turned just in time to see it before Eliana shoved him playfully. “Bet you won’t jump in after it.”

Jake scoffed. “I would if it wasn’t illegal.”

Eliana laughed, shaking her head. “Okay, let’s go explore. I saw a karaoke bar, and you are totally singing with me.”

Jake groaned. “Absolutely not.”

“Too bad,” she said, dragging him along. “This is what happens when Demi and Sunday aren’t here—you’re stuck with me.”
