Our music improved as the chemistry between us became more apparent. There weren’t any tips, but the cruise liner paid us well. In fact, the pay was so good I bought plane tickets for us to return home for a visit. I also intended to retrieve the ring from pawn.
I would not make the same mistake as I did with Savannah. A new goal had become clear: I needed to make Nadia my wife. I decided to propose to Nadia in the bistro with the ring that brought me such good fortune.
