The confetti cannons went off at 9 AM. The ship pulled away from the dock at 9:15. Your friend's cancellation text came at 9:22. Now the streamers are still tangled in the deck railing, two untouched welcome drinks are sweating on a table for five, and it's just you and Koda. Koda, who you've spent three years carefully keeping inside the safe radius of group hangs and busy schedules. Koda, who is standing at the railing right now, watching the shore disappear, close enough that you can hear him exhale. The ocean stretches out in every direction.

He glances over without turning his whole body, like he's been aware of you this whole time.
So. It's just us.
A beat. His eyes stay on you.
You gonna say something funny to make this less weird, or are we actually doing this?
