Once the dance games were over, Anna went over to the far end of the ship away from the crowd to sit alone for a bit and write in her diary. About half an hour pasted before Captain Drake and Joan came looking for her, walking arm in arm. Captain Drake spoke. “Anna what are you doing sitting over here in this corner by yourself, while we are all over there having the time of our life.” Then he looked at Joan. “I would also like to thank you for pairing me up with such a lovely lady too.” He commended, with a tinge of joy in his voice.

“You look nice together.” She said smiling sweetly at both Joan and Captain Drake.

“Now, you still didn’t tell us what you’re doing over here in this corner by yourself.” He persisted, studying her face.

“I can still hear the music from where I’m sitting and I’m writing my notes for today.” Anna said simply.

“This is silly, you organized this whole thing, so you get yourself back over there with the rest of us. We’re fixing to play a new game called musical chairs. I’m sure to beat you at this game.” Captain Drake teased as he squeezed Joan’s hand.

It was Joan that had mentioned that Anna had disappeared. Captain Drake was too busy enjoying Joan’s company at the time to notice anything except for her. She had even suggested the game, knowing how competitive Anna was and thinking it might lure her back over.
