Four strangers from different walks of life meet on a cruise and spend an unforgettable week together. All of them on their own self-discovering journeys, and onboard for different reasons.

After breakfast, I went straight to the gym. Luckily, I managed to miss my parents in the room. I wondered what they were off doing but didn't really care.
I finished on the treadmill and bent over, trying to slow my panting.
When I stood up, I saw a guy checking me out.
I waved and he waved back. Suddenly, he came over.
All I could think was how ballsy is this guy? Usually people just stare and then never shoot their shot but he really went for it.
I dabbed the towel on my upper lip to rid it of sweat droplets and tried to pose naturally as he approached.
He put his arms out as if to go in for the hug so I did the same. Only, when he was just centimeters away from my body, he pushed me to the side and walked to the man standing behind me.
My mouth tightened and I felt stupid.
I flipped the man off every way I could until he turned to see me making inappropriate gestures.
Him and his new partner stared at me blankly. Awkwardly, I just flashed a grin and ran out of the two-story gym.

After I posted a few photos of my vacation so far to my socials, the likes rolled in. One of them, from Will.
As if he just knew I was thinking about him, he sent me a text that read:
Just thinking about you beautiful. Sorry about how things went down. Talk soon?
I curled my face and deleted his number before going to the App Store to download Tinder. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I just wanted someone real to talk to, someone who could show me a good time even if not for a long time.
I successfully made an account and completed setting it up. So, I spent the afternoon swiping right and swiping left. Honestly, I was growing bored but the swiping motion was really fun.
No one interested me, they all looked like dirty douches who just wanted to hook up.
My sunlight was blocked and I looked up to protest.
"Excuse me, Jolly Green Giant, I don't remember it being an eclipse today," I snarled at the tall, blonde in my way.
He found humor in my jokes instead of offense and asked me, "Is this seat taken?"
"Well damn, you already sat down, wouldn't really matter if I said it was or wasn't," I spat.
