Chapter 118 Elizabeth

• The yacht sets sail from Paihia, and begins its tour of the Bay of Islands, following which it will pass the Cavalli Islands and sail up to Doubtless Bay before looping back once again.
• The yacht is a lot busier now everyone’s on board. Sidnie is already locked away with her mother, sister, and best friends getting ready for her big moment. Huxley and Mack spend a couple of hours introducing people and playing hosts while stewards go around with drinks and canapés, and then around midday everyone starts disappearing for a short rest before they get ready for the wedding.As Sidnie’s getting ready in their cabin, Mack joins Huxley in his old cabin to change, leaving me alone in mine, at least for now. They wanted a relaxed wedding, and I thought I’d go for trousers as I didn’t want to spend the whole day trying to stop the sea breeze blowing up my skirt. I was going to pick something cream or maybe light blue to go with the ocean theme, but then my gaze fell on the outfit I ended up with, and I was lost. It’s cherry-red, with a boned bodice, shoestring straps, and wide-leg pants. It’s perfect for a summer wedding, and I rarely wear red, so it’s also a little different.
• I leave my hair down but add a clip with a small red flower behind one ear, and touch up my makeup, adding a red gloss to my lips that again I rarely wear.
