Yacht — Undisclosed location

ARIELA

“If you look off to your left, you can see the Holy Grail,” the helicopter pilot announces.

We left the States yesterday around two, flew all night in the luxury of Riley’s private jet, and arrived in Italy this morning. If all goes well, we’ll be having lunch with our friends shortly.

“Holy hell,” Riley says. “Now, that is a yacht. How big is it?”

“One hundred sixty-eight meters,” the pilot tells us.

“And is this all you do?”

“Yes, sir. I am on call twenty-four/seven. Would you like to hear more about this great boat?”

“Yes,” I say. “It’s obvious that it is a yacht, but all that stuff on the top almost reminds me of a Navy vessel.”

“Privacy and security were of utmost importance when this yacht was designed. The foyer was set into the heart of the boat in order to divide owners, guests, and crew. While the decks are open air and allow for plenty of sunshine, the pool is built under cover for privacy. There are also below-the-waterline lights that can detect swimmers or divers in the area with motion detectors. The portholes are armored, and she is even equipped with flash light sensors and electronic countermeasures against digital photography. Although not yet installed, it is prepped for the installation of a missile warning system, and there is a small submarine on board that can dive, unnoticed, from the outside.”

“Considering the tabloids are going crazy, wanting photos of Knox’s and Keatyn’s respective honeymoons, those features all sound awesome,” Riley says.

As we move closer to the massive boat, I notice the H with a circle around it, indicating where the helicopter is supposed to land on the bow of the ship.

I clutch my stomach. “Are we really going to land this helicopter on that boat?”

“Yep! Isn’t it exciting?” the pilot says. “I get the chills every time we approach.”

He gets on his radio and calls the yacht’s captain, letting him know that we will be landing soon.

“But the boat is moving—like, in the waves,” I argue. “How does that work?”

“Wait and see,” the pilot says confidently.

Riley looks over at me, a wide smile on his face. He grabs my hand and squeezes it.

I try to watch, but it makes me too nervous, so I close my eyes until we’re on the ground—er, well, on the boat.

We’re greeted by the captain, a steward takes our luggage, and we are escorted to the pool deck.

“You made it!” Keatyn says, giving me a hug in greeting. “Wasn’t the helicopter landing on the boat a trip?”

“I’m not sure. I may have had my eyes closed,” I admit.

“I did, too!” RiAnne says. “I had visions of a fiery crash.”

“At least if you crash into the ocean there is plenty of water to douse the flames!” Dallas says with a lazy laugh.

I can tell he’s a little buzzed already.

After we exchange hugs, Knox says, “Do you want the tour, or are you ready for lunch?”

Riley walks out onto the deck, drink already in hand, and says, “I think we’re good here.
