Everyone scrambled to get over to the row boats and two as quickly as they could to the ships. Lisa found new energy and was rowing strongly as I just kept deep in thought. I felt a hand in my shoulder and saw Irene looking at me,

"We'll get her back." I gave her a fake smile,

"Of course." I turned my attention back to my ship that we were approaching. I know these circumstances are all depressing and very much heartbreaking for me, but I'm still happy I get my ship back. Lisa rowed up right up against it and with the rope ladder, we climbed up and brought everything I had along with me up. My crew all excitedly greeted me and I was also excited to see all of them healthy and happy.

"Alright everyone!" I shouted to get their attention. They all looked at me patiently, "It's good to be back, but we have things to do! You all saw that ship with the grey sails, so we need to follow that damn thing! Let's go!" I heard cheers as they rushed to their station, getting the anchor up and getting the ship ready to sail. We were close to Rosie's ship, so I walked to the edge and shouted over to Jennie,

"Oi! Let's get sailing and get my girl/your captain back!" Jennie gave me a dumb salute in return and I chuckled as I turned back around, watching the ship sail along in the distance.

"I'm coming to you Rosie, just hold on. For me. For us." I said quietly to myself as I then went up to the helm and got this boat sailing. The masts were down and the wind was catching them beautifully. My crew was bustling around below me and Lisa came up beside me.

"Good to have you back, captain." I smirked,

"Feels great to be back, mate."

I'm currently in my captain's quarters mapping out the island that Rosie and I were on. I remember the main details and I think I was able to get a pretty good map of it. Granted I did have one half done map from the lighthouse as a reference, but still. I was using the compass when a crew member burst into my room. I glanced up,

"Yes?"

"We've lost sight of the ship in the fog."

"WHAT!?" I yelled as I stood up from my chair and walked outside onto the deck. Indeed the fog was a massive problem as I could barely see three meters in front of me. I banged my fist against the side of the wooden wall in complete frustration.

"Damn it, think," I mumbled to myself. I snapped my fingers, "what is the current trajectory of the ship?"

"We will end up in Lisbon, Portugal if we continue on the current trajectory." I thought for a moment,

"Change the trajectory to La Rochelle, France."

"Wha–"

"Do it."

"Yes captain." The crew member left as I walked back into my quarter. I then heard a knock on my door, making me groan out,

"Come in." I said unenthusiastically. Lisa walked in with confusion written all over her face,

"How come we are going all the way to France now? Also I need to tell Jennie about the change in plans."

"The La Rochelle port in France is the one Rosie and I grew up at. That means her parents live around there because her family would rarely visit the markets. Therefore, her parents are taking her there since it's home."

"Are you sure they didn't move?"

"I uh, didn't think about that."

"I say keep the same trajectory. Jisoo told us she had guests with her already and we were in Portugal at the time. That meant that her parents were there already. So I think we should stay on track because why would her parents be in Portugal if they didn't live there."
