Sydney packed all her essentials for the trip out to sea. She still couldn’t believe that the brilliant Dr. Goldstein actually invited her to accompany him on the trip. She packed layers because she didn’t know how cold it would get out there. She also brought her snorkeling and swimming gear just in case she was allowed to take a dip in the ocean.

Coen watched her pack. “Three days sounds horrible.”

“It’s going to be so awesome,” she said as she shoved her jacket inside the bag.

“I can’t go three days without having sex.”

“You have your hand, don’t you?”

“It’s not the same thing at all.”

“You’ll be okay. I won’t be gone for long.” She grabbed the bag and carried it to his car. When she opened the back, she saw a bunch of luggage inside. “Babe, what’s this for?”

“Oh. I forgot to mention that I’m going.”

Her eyes lit up. “You are?”

“Of course.”

“How did that happen?”

“I asked Dr. Goldstein if I could go.”

“And he just said yes?”

“Yep.”

“Wow. You should have been a car salesman. You know how to persuade people.”

He laughed. “I don’t know about that.” He threw her other belongings inside.

“I’m so happy you’re coming. It’s going to be so amazing.”

“You are?”

“So happy. Now we don’t have to wait for three days.”

He raised an eyebrow. “That’s gonna be hard to pull off.”

“Well, people have to sleep sometime.”

He smiled. “I like it. We’ll have to sneak around.”

She pushed her bag all the way to the back seat. Her ring caught her attention as it reflected the light. He hadn’t asked for it back and she hadn’t offered to return it to him. The issue with Audrey was settled. There was really no reason to keep up the charade. Even if she learned the truth, Sydney knew she wouldn’t lash out at their relationship again. But a part of her didn’t want to give it back. She felt like a psycho, clingy girlfriend, but she couldn’t do it. She hadn’t removed it from her finger. She would wait until Coen asked for it back. Until then, she would act like she just forgot. She wasn’t sure what she was hoping for. There’s no way he was ready to get married. They had only been together for a few months. And after she told him the news of her family’s visit, she wasn’t sure if he would even want to marry her. They were set to arrive a few days before Thanksgiving and she still hadn’t mentioned it to him. She knew how pissed he was going to be. “We should get going.”

“Okay,” he said as he walked to the passenger door and opened it for her. After she was settled, he walked back to his side then drove toward the loading dock that was connected to the aquarium near the wharf.

When they got out, Coen carried most of the luggage until they reached the medium sized boat. It was almost as big as a yacht, but a little smaller. There were two levels, along with another boat attached to it.
