(Aboard ship, Abigail and Emily sitting quietly)
Abigail: We are really going back to the mainland.
Emily: I don't know about that.
Abigail: (Concerned) What do you mean? Aren't we going back?
Emily: Well, I thought that was the goal, but I'm just not sure Fritz knows how to use a compass.
Abigail: (Laughs) Where is Fritz, anyway?
Emily: Well, there aren't many places he could be.
Turk: (Dashing around) Going back! Going back! Crumpets! Crumpets!
Emily: (Laughing) Turk! What's the matter?
Fritz: (Whispering from behind the sail) Psst! Abi!
Abigail: Fritz? What is it?
Fritz: Just make sure she doesn't see me until I'm about right there.
Abigail: What are you doing? (Seeing the flowers from Elisabeth's bundle) What are those for?
Fritz: Just wait.
Abigail: For what?
Fritz: You'll see, just keep her from looking this way.
Abigail: Alright.
Turk: (Sighs) How long is this trip going to take? I'm so ready for a crumpet, like right now, and I don't know if I can make it until we get there. No offense, Abi, but those ones you made a few days ago were...uh...interesting. Yeah, that's what they were. Interesting.
Emily: Turk, if you're not careful, this little boat is going to capsize!
Turk: Oh. Sorry. Guess there wouldn't be any more crumpets if we never made it back, would there?
(Pause)
Abigail: I've lost sight of the island already.
Emily: It's strange. To go back after a year. But I am excited all the same.
Fritz: (Coming out from behind the sail) Emily. (Gives her some flowers from the bundle.)
Emily: Fritz, what are you doing?
Fritz: (On one knee) Emily Marie Sorensen...when we get back to Switzerland...will you do me the honor...of being my wife?
Emily: Oh, Fritz, I...yes! Yes I will!
