Chapter 22

• Annika arrived at work the next day energized; she hadn't gotten much sleep after spending time with the captain, but she was up and alert, humming a song, and delighted. She was preparing the bar in the hopes that the captain might stop by for a cup of coffee. She makes sure that the coffee machine is ready to serve the captain a nice cup of coffee.
• And, as usual, the captain arrives early in his all-white uniform on his casual day, where there is no passenger yet. "Good morning, Annika. How are you today?" he said with a huge smile. "I am doing well, Captain Magnus; how about you?" "I am fantastic," he said as he inquired, a smile on his face.
• "We'll be docking in Sydney tomorrow, Annika; will you be available in the afternoon?" said the captain. "I am available between eleven o'clock in the morning and three o'clock in the afternoon, captain," Annika stated candidly.
