She put on a smile as she looked at the island. It was one of want. She gave a quick look to Erik before turning back. It was beautiful. She had mentioned her desire to live on one and she wasn't about to waver on it. For once, she wanted to live where she wanted to live. Her apartment was nice, yes. Her old Gran Canaria condo wasn't bad either but she was looking at a virtual paradise.
"Beautiful," she said softly, "simply beautiful." She leaned forward a bit, "One day........one day......that island will be home....some day, some how."
She turned back to Erik, smiling brightly. She could hardly believe that this man was doing so much for her and her son in so little time. The little girl in her wanted to hug him but the woman said "not yet." Her smiles kept her from hiding it though. She just turned and enjoyed the view, ".....one day."

Not far from them, Benjen and Peter were playing. While Ben noticed the island as well, he didn't go into a deep state of admiration like his mother did. It was his birthday and of the ten he had, this one included, this was the best. He had his buddy, his Mom and his buddy's Dad on a personal tour. Looking around the ship he was on, he gave a sharp smile to Peter, "Let's be pirates!! Argh!"
Before long, they were both talking like pirates and acting like them.
