CHAPTER SEVEN

Theresa walked around the deck, taking another head count. Some of the group members were taking selfies, while others were waving from the bow at family members who’d dropped them off. She looked for some place on the deck to go over some last-minute details. Once she found an out-of-the-way spot, she rallied her group.

“Can everyone in the Great Escapers group come over here for a moment?” She reached into her tote bag on wheels. “Mrs. Reed, can you pass out the bags?”

“Sure thing,” Grandma Reed said.

“OK. This will only take a moment. The group’s all here.” She perused her notes. “I have everyone’s medication schedules, allergy lists, and emergency contact information. I know everyone wants to have a good time, but don’t forget to take your meds.”

“I’m on my vacation, I don’t want to be stuck in the room taking pills all morning,” Mrs. Johnson said.

“I’d feel much better if you took your meds, and I assure you the group will wait for you. We don’t want anyone in the medical center. We’re all in this together, right?”

“Right.”

“Also, I promised to post lots of photos on my agency’s social media accounts. This will show your family and friends you’re having a good time and will cut down on me sending individual emails letting them know you’re OK. Last thing, anyone who purchased special wrist bands or a special card for onboard purchases, please keep track of those things. It will save you time and energy from trekking to your cabin. My cabin number is on the card in your goodie bags, along with sunscreen and other essentials you may have forgotten to pack.”

“You’re so good to us Theresa,” Mrs. Donahue said.

“You’re pretty cute too.” Mr. Stewart, the group’s geriatric Casanova, yelled out. “How about I take you salsa dancing at the discothèque?”

Theresa tried to hide her amusement. It could have been worse. He could have said rave.

“I was hoping she’d join me for dinner,” a familiar voice said in the back of the crowd.

When the crowd parted, her heart damn near leaped out of her chest. It wasn’t a figment of her imagination. It was Trevor.

“Trevor!” Grandma Reed rushed over and gave him a good squeeze.

“Surprise.” He embraced her.

“You bet it is.” Grandma Reed motioned for everyone to come closer. “Everybody, this is my grandson Trevor.”

“He’s the one who takes photos of bobcats and deserts, right?”

“Something like that.”

“It’s good to meet you. We’ve met almost everyone in Grace’s family. We were beginning to think you were a figment of her imagination,” Mrs. Donahue said.

Theresa waded through the crowd, her heart still beating fast from the surprise. “Trevor. What are you doing here?”

“I was able to get a last minute cabin. What luck, eh?”

She squinted. She hated when he answered a question before she asked it. “Luck? I’d say it was a one-in-a-million shot.”

“You know these big ships don’t fill up. I had to get a suite, but it was worth it. I haven’t had a vacation with my grandma in such a long time.
