Aubrey's POV
As I stood on the cruise ship, gazing out at the ocean with Lucas by my side, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. I was happy to be away from the drama of the party, and even happier to be spending time alone with Lucas.
He always knows how to make me feel better.
I turned to him and smiled. "Thanks for bringing me here, Lucas. I needed to get out of there."
Lucas smiled back, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Anytime, Aubrey. I'm always happy to help you escape the drama."
I laughed and leaned into him, feeling a sense of comfort and security. Lucas was a great guy, and I was lucky to have him in my life.
