Chapter 2
Once the ship sails off, Elena walks to Mr. Turner; "Do you know how long we will travel for?" she asks, Mr. Turner turns to her, "This will be for about two days, it's not that far, and Mrs. Turner knows her ways." Across from them, Luisa and Francisco sit nearby each other and look out into the sea, "Doesn't this look so beautiful? Look at the view." Francisco smiles softly at her, "Yes it is, the sea looks pretty nice too." His comment catches her off guard, "Oh Francisco." she blushes at her partner's words. From afar, Esteban watches the two lovers interact with each other. He walks to the room where he left his stuff and closes the door behind him, he sighs.

As I walk to the dresser and sat down, I close my eyes and let out a sigh. "Why do I feel like this?" I ran my hands through my hair and look at my reflection. Could it be that I've been longing for love? This is true, it's been so long and so lonely without someone next to me. "Maybe it's because I am getting old." I put my hands on my face, my fingertips graze over the graying part of my hair. 41 years, for 41 years i have been on my own, "Look at me, I'm already in my fifties and I haven't found a woman to be with." I get off the stool i sat on and walk to the bed, I sat down and lowered my head. I then heard a knock at the door, "Come in." I see Gabe walk in with his bags, "The Turners told us that we'll have roommates, and they told me that I'm with you." I nodded at him, "I'm fine with that." as he sets his stuff down, I look up at him, "Gabriel?" he stops and turns to me. "What is it?" I hesitated for a bit, "Oh nothing, I forgot sorry." he brushes it off and finishes setting his stuff. I look out the small window and see that it is already dark out. "It's getting late, we should head to bed." Gabe looked surprised, "Already? How?" I look at him again, "Well we did leave late, we were supposed to leave at morning, but we fell behind schedule." I get up and walk towards the door, "I'll sleep in a bit later, I'm just going to get some air." Before I opened the door, I heard him tell me goodnight. I bid him a goodnight to him and walked out.
I feel the cool breeze brush against me as I walked along the deck, I lean against the ledge and look into the night sky. The moon illuminated a soft glow, while the stars added a peaceful mood. "Maybe it's better this way, who would ever be with me?" I heard soft footsteps behind me, "Esteban, what are you doing up so late?" I heard Elena's voice behind me, I turn to her and see her in her nightgown. "I just have a lot on my mind going on right now." She looks at me with concern. "What's going on right now?" I took a deep breath and explained everything to her, as I finished, she puts her hand on my arm. "Esteban, don't say that. You are a caring man, and I doubt that anyone would never love you, you'll find the one. I know it." I give her a smile, "Thank you Elena." she wraps her arms around me and gives me a hug, I hugged her back and pull away. "Now go to bed, it's cold out here." I chuckle at her remark. "Goodnight Elena." "Goodnight Esteban, sleep well." I walk back into the room and lay in bed. I stare up at the ceiling and start to feel my eyelids get heavy, I then fell asleep.
