Chapter 29

• The leader of the group threw an incredulous look at Mike, who couldn't resist. "How else do you think I got all these cuts and bruises man?" he asked, throwing his arms wide.
• A burst of laughter erupted from several of the people on the boat, and the trio turned, red-faced to sit down. Mike didn't know if he could love his sisters any more than at that moment, and if it hadn't been for Emma's gift earlier on the wave runner, he was sure he'd have Captain Magnificent on display in his swim trunks.
• The boat slowed as they approached the coral reef. Mike and his sister's paired up with an older gentleman and dove into the water. Beth was extremely happy, drifting amongst the fish and strange sea creatures. The reef was about 10 to 20 feet below them, but the fish would swim up and play amongst them, being used to tourists. They swam for about thirty minutes before they all got back in the boat. The tour guides did a head count and headed for the next part of their journey.
