Sakura woke early. The sunlight was streaming in through a gap in the curtains. She was sure that she had closed them the previous evening. Milton must have got up at some point and opened them. She rolled onto her side and looked at him fast asleep next to her. His breathing was deep and sonorous, and for the first time since she had met him at the airport a few short days ago, he looked at peace.

She watched him for a few more moments, her eyes tracing the scars on his chest. What sort of a life had he led to earn them?

“Stop looking at me,” Milton murmured, making Sakura jump. He opened his eyes and looked at her with a gentle grin.

“I thought you were asleep,” she said.

“I was,” Milton said, rolling onto his back and stretching his arms above his head. “And then I got the feeling I was being watched.”

Sakura got out of bed and crossed the cabin to the coffee machine.

“Coffee?” she asked, looking back at Milton. She hoped that he had been watching her walk across the room—that was why she hadn’t put any clothes on—but he was engrossed by his phone.

“Please,” he said, tapping the screen.

“What are you doing?” she asked as she poured some water from a jug into the machine.

“A bit of planning. You might want to get dressed. We need to talk about what we’re going to do when we get to Tokyo.”

Sakura sighed, trying not to pout. She was hoping for something more than a conversation to start the day, but they had a week on board the freighter, so there was no hurry. As she waited for the coffee machine to warm up, she opened the suitcase that Victoria had prepared for them and picked out some suitable clothes.
