Amaia relaxed in a warm bubble bath in Irina's cabin room.
Her eyes were closed and she could smell the aroma of scented candles.
After her bath, she wrapped herself in a towel and stepped out of the bath tub feeling refreshed for the first time in probably years.
She walked out of the wash room and went into Irina's bedroom.
One of Irina's chambermaids showed Amaia a closet full of clothes so that she could choose which clothes she wanted to wear.
Irina's Chambermaid walked out of the room letting Amaia know she'd be outside if she needed anything.
Amaia looked through the clothing in the closet wistfully.
She thought she'd never be able to see, wear or touch these kinds of clothes ever again.
She looked through the clothes in the hangers and remembered all the clothes that she used to have hanging in her closet when she was younger.
If she were younger now, she probably would have cried.
After Amaia picked out an outfit and got dressed, she walked out of the room and went up the stairs to the ship's deck.
Amaia looked around the deck and saw Judith talking with her Father, Mother and Sisters.
And for a second, like she was in a state of unconsciousness, Amaia thought that she was having an out of body experience watching herself (Judith) reuniting with her family.
Amaia quickly snapped out of it and realized where she was.
She looked over and saw everyone else start walking over to the stairs to go down into the ship.
After everyone had got settled, they went into the ship's cafeteria and ate bowls of fish broth.
Judith sat with her family on one end of the table and Amaia and Irina sat on the other end.
And the twins sat in the middle with everyone else.
Everyone sat and ate except for Alex, who was holding his locket and thinking about something intently.
He looked at his father's wedding ring that was on his necklace next to the locket.
He looked over at Judith sitting with her family and he made up his mind.
He tapped Ana's shoulder, who was sitting beside him and whispered something to her.
Ana grabbed her necklace and handed it to Alex.
Alex saw his Mother's wedding ring on Ana's necklace and took it off the necklace.
Then Alex got up from the table with the ring in his hand and went over to where Judith was sitting.
Alex put his hand on Judith's shoulder and asked to speak to her for a second.
Judith smiled and got up from the table and walked with him to the side of the cafeteria.
