~Next morning~
"Aurora, get up!" Tobias poked me in the shoulder. I moaned and pulled a blanket over my face. He snatched it away from me, making me whine.

All I want to do is sleep~

"Let me sleep," I begged. He laughed.

"Okay, okay I'll let you sleep but first look outside."He responded.

I rubbed my eyes sleepily before approaching the window and looking out.

We were no longer at sea, but rather docked somewhere.

"WAIT! ALASKA? DID WE GET THERE? I screamed.

"Well, not exactly, but they needed to restock their supplies, so...they docked here."He smiled. I immediately squealed.

"LET'S GO!!! COMEON!!" I hauled him along.

"Wait, you have to change. You're still dressed in your nightgown."

"No one gives a damn!"

"I do, so change and come out.I'll be there waiting."As he handed me a t-shirt and a pair of pants, he said. I eagerly accepted it, changed, and dashed out the door.

I grabbed my money and his hand before leaving the ship. I twirled around, a big smile on my face. It was great to be back on solid ground. I returned my gaze to Tobias. He had a wide smile on his face and his hands were in his pockets.

"Let's go shopping!"Before he could say anything, I dragged him away.

Both of our hands were entwined as I rambled and pointed at random things while he smiled fondly at me. We arrived at a phone shop.

I should get one for both of us...

"How much does the phone and its sim card cost?" I asked.

"$500," he said. I took out my black card and extended it to him. Tobias and the guy's eyes widened.

Tobias immediately drew me to one side.

"Are you crazy?!! Why would you whip out your black card casually to buy a phone? Do you realise how dangerous that is?" He spoke in hushed tones.

"I'm only carrying my black card right now. I didn't get any money."I responded.

He sighed and took out his wallet.

"I will pay."

"No."

"Yes"

"No"

"Aurora. Let us not fight about it. We're literally in an unknown location where they may rob us." He groaned. I sighed.

"OK, just this once. Buy a phone for yourself as well. I'll repay you later."

"There is no need." He responded as he paid the man in cash and got a phone.

"Why didn't you buy yourself a phone?" As I admired my phone, I asked.

"I already have another one at home," He replied.

"But don't you need one to contact others?" I asked.

"I'll just use yours because I don't want anyone calling me right now. They'll haggle me on the job." He groaned. My attention was drawn to a restaurant.

"Let's go eat! I'm starving." I pointed to the restaurant. We both entered the cozy-looking restaurant and sat on the wooden benches. The server quickly handed us the menu.

"I'll pay for whatever you want." As I scanned the menu, I said.

"No, I'll pay." I raised my eyes to him.
