Love In The Air

Blaise hadn't realized how much he hated traveling by sea. The first time he had done it was with Abby and it didn't seem all that bad aside from having to jump overboard to save her once.

But traveling with not one but two of his three companions who got horribly seasick made life difficult. Add that to the fact that Edmund and Marcy were flirting whenever they weren't vomiting and that Jae chattered on constantly about the girl he was going to marry and he spent the better part of two months in a foul mood.

Traveling was not fun unless you had the right companions. Blaise was beginning to wonder if he would ever enjoy traveling with anyone but Abby or if he had simply gotten unlucky this time.

He spent most of the journey thinking about her as he stared out at the sea. The ribbon she gave him had taken up permanent residence on his wrist.
