3rd person’s POV
We poured over a GPS we found in the helm. “Eight hours to shore.” : Reyna said, gesturing to the map. “And it’s 7.30pm now.” : she said, checking her watch. “We could sail for two hours and then stop for the night.” : Nico recommended. “Do you know how to drive a boat?” “Well let’s see.” : Reyna replied, giving him a wink.
Twenty minutes later, they were cruising along headed straight for Puerto Rico. While Reyna drove, Nico summoned their packs and prepared a meal. “Feed me.” : Reyna said, still grasping the wheel. They had a fun night, tossing chunks of energy bars into each other's mouths and bonding over past quests. They found that they could be more open and comfortable in each other’s presence than anyone else they knew. In the other, both found something that they had lost long ago - peace.
“I’ll take first watch.” : Nico offered later that night. “Sure thing,” : Reyna replied, “be sure to wake me in a couple hours.” As Nico turned for the stairs, Reyna called out : “Don’t I get another kiss?” Nico froze in his tracks before turning around, his face an image of surprise, to see Reyna smirking at him. “Uh sure?” : he replied. He walked over, knelt and kissed her on the forehead. It was Reyna’s turn to be surprised. But as Nico stood up, Reyna leaned up and kissed him on the cheek. “G’night Neeks.” : she said turning over. Nico stood there for a few seconds, the shock of the kiss having completely scrambled his mind. Slowly, he turned and climbed to the second deck.
