Ella gave him a small smile, still not quite meeting his eyes. "I know. I don't want to dwell on it. And I don't want to start your cruise off with a sad story."
She shot him a look over her shoulder, her face betraying all her emotions. "I just want to forget. And move on. I want to live again and stop dwelling. I want to stop the what ifs and wondering why and what I did wrong. I just want to forget."
She stood close beside him and put a hand on his knee. "So. Help me forget. Tell me your story."
