After hours of swimming and lounging, the sun was setting over the horizon. Daisy, Cassie, and Nyle gathered on the main deck for dinner. Nyle had hired a full staff to man the yacht, including a chef to cook gourmet meals. Daisy sat down next to Nyle, her mother sitting across from her. Her hair was still wet from swimming, soaking the back of her sundress. Her eyes couldn’t stop looking back to the gorgeous sunset. The shades of pink, orange, and purple reflected onto the water, making the sky appear ever expanding.

Soon, two servers emerged from the galley and wheeled a chrome cart to the table. When the cover to the platter was removed, the aroma of a garlic and basil pasta dish wafted their way. Daisy’s hunger gnawed at her stomach, completely famished from swimming so avidly. They were served their plates and glasses of Chardonnay.

“My my, this looks divine,” her mother gasped, looking over her dinner plate in awe.

Nyle raised his wine glass to make a toast. “To Cassie, may you enjoy this birthday and many more to come.”

They all clinked their glasses together before digging into their dinners. Nyle’s hand rested on Daisy’s knee under the table as they ate. Daisy savored every bite of meal, taking in the robust flavor. The conversations were lighthearted while they ate.

Cassie spoke again, “Thank you both again for today. It’s certainly been the best birthday I’ve ever had.”

“It’s not over yet,” Nyle stated simply, taking a sip of his wine and relaxing back in his chair. Cassie gave him a questioning look, to which he smirked, “What’s a birthday without cake and presents?”

Her mouth gaped. “This is plenty, really. I don’t need cake or presents.”

“Nonsense. You raised the love of my life into the beautiful, brilliant, and compassionate woman she is today. I think that alone is deserving of a simple cake,” Nyle grinned.

Cassie blinked rapidly and put a hand on her chest. She glanced to Daisy. “He’s a smooth talker, isn’t he?”

“The smoothest,” Daisy giggled, laying her head on Nyle’s shoulder.

“I can’t argue with his logic, though.” Cassie winked at her daughter. “So where is this cake?” she asked, glancing back at the door to the galley, as though the staff would suddenly emerge with it.

“It’s back at the house,” Nyle explained, glancing over his shoulder to the nearing coastline. “We should be docking shortly, then we’ll head right over.”

As if on a cue, members of the wait staff emerged to clear the dishes away from the table. Nyle excused himself to go talk with the crew. Daisy and Cassie stood up from their chairs, walking over to the bow of the yacht.

Cassie bumped her daughter with her hip. “I’ve really missed you since you left town.”

Daisy let out a quiet sigh. “I know, and I’ve missed you too.”

“It does make me feel better that you’re being cared for, even though you’re so far away from me.”

A grin dominated Daisy’s face then she peered down into the water. “You’ll never have to worry about him mistreating me.
