“You’re a good sister,” Ashley says, squeezing me in a tighter hug. “So you kept up with the writing?”

“Yeah, I’m working on a book about a girl with a sister going through addiction problems. There’s a lot of drama and romance in it but agents don’t like it so they keep sending it back to me.” To my horror my voice starts trembling and I have to swallow down a huge lump in my throat.

“Hey, you’ll get there,” Ashley says, rubbing my back. “You’re smart and strong and I know you’re going to be a smash on the writing world. Everything’s going to come out okay.”

My friends have told me this but there’s something about Ashley, her strength and confidence and the way her eyes sparkle when she gets excited that makes me almost believe her.

“Oh my god,” she says, pulling away from me so quickly that I just about get whiplash. “Alex is going to be back soon, we need to get dressed!”

I yelp in mirrored panic and there’s a scramble of limps and bedclothes as we rummage around and fight over pyjama pants and try to make the room look like we were definitely not having sex in here.

Just in time.

There’s a knock on the door and Sandy delivers Alex to my waiting arms. I scoop him up against my chest, loving the way he wraps his arms around my neck. He’s chattering about all the great things that he saw in the engine room and I feel a deep tug in my chest like I’m longing for something I’ve never had.

Ashley is pulling out the sofa bed so we can all cuddle up and watch cartoons until bedtime and as I glance from her to Alex’s happy face I realise we look like we’re a family. It’s not something I’ve had much of and I want the feeling to continue.

I don’t want to lose her when the cruise ends. I can’t help it, I want this to be something real and instead I’m stuck playing pretend with something I really want.
