Author's Note: Regarding this chapter. For some reason I constantly think that Sicily is a separate country from Italy. When I originally wrote this chapter part of it sort of reflected that mistake. I tried to fix it, but the shadows of that thought are still there, so please understand that I did my best to fix it.
I didn't use as many photos this time. It takes me so long sometimes to find photos that fit the situation that I am kind of getting burnt out trying. Sorry about that.
One last thing. This particular chapter goes in depth regarding food. So probably a good idea to not come in and read it hungry.

I frown as once again it is supposed to be chillier than I expected it might be today. In fact today is the chilliest out of all the days thus far at only 73°F (22.8°C). It's only 8am, and the ship is still moving because once again we won't be arriving in Amalfi until 11am. "We could have slept for a bit longer."
"True. But, I wanted to take a shower with you."
I turn and frown at him for a moment before raising both my eyebrows in regards to the ludicrous suggestion. "Have you seen the size of the shower? I mean sure it's bigger than any other shower on the ship, but I don't know if it's big enough to house the both of us or not."
"I don't mind squeezing into tight places." I bite my lip as I look at his darkening eyes. I let my vision trail down his body lingering over his toned physique so I can give his body the appreciation it fully deserves. The blankets are pooled at his waist, but I can make out how excited he is due to how they tent above his pelvis.
