The staff member chuckled, “Miss, you must have a lucky star shining on you today. This pearl is a top-notch pink pearl, perfectly suited to complement your radiant complexion if it’s set into a pendant.”

Allison gazed at the pink pearl resting in her palm. It was roughly the size of a thumbnail, and perfectly round with a soft pink hue. It was a pure and natural saltwater pearl, without any post-harvest enhancements. Its value, she surmised, would be considerable.

With a playful glance towards the man standing nearby, she teased, “Mr. Lindberg, are you presenting this to me as a gift?”

Lucian reached into his pocket, pulling out an empty wallet. “Sorry, what if I haven’t brought any money?”

Allison pouted, “Then you’ll just have to stay here and work it off.”

Lucian sighed dramatically, “Oh, how long would I have to toil away here to earn this pearl? If we both stay and work, it might go faster.” As he spoke, he caught Allison’s hand with the pink pearl still in it, gently enclosing both in his grip.

His hand was holding hers. Hers was holding the pearl. On the beach, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, they embraced.

The staff, sensing the moment, tactfully made themselves scarce, leaving the two some space.

Tonight, it was just Lucian and Allison aboard.

The phonograph played a melodious tune. Crystal chandeliers cast a bright light tinged with a soft golden glow, which was warm and inviting.
