Onboard the Ship to Shadora

Vaughn and Zenia barely made it. They were the last passengers to board the ship, and it was a good thing that the maintenance crew was doing some last-minute inspection before they set sail.  

Zenia was still clutching the bag and would not let it go even when Vaughn asked her to give it to him.

"I want to be the one to take care of this."

He did not insist anymore when he saw the determination in Zenia's eyes. He became more curious about the content of the bag. 

The ship's attendant led the couple to their room. It was a first-class ship indeed. It was different from the other ships that Zenia had tried before. The attendant made sure that they had everything that they would need before he bid them goodbye.
