“Excuse me, Captain?”
“Si?”
“You’ve been to the Galápagos before, right?”
He chuckles. “Of course. Many times. I’m from Quito and my wife’s family is from Santa Cruz.”
“Captain Garcia is one of the most experienced cruise ship captains in Ecuador,” adds one of the junior officers.
Perfect. “So, what do you love about the Galápagos?”
“Hmmmm.” He flashes me a wide grin. “How long were you planning to spend on the bridge?”
“Yo, guys,” Ty says, peering down into the stroller. “What the hell is that thing? Satan’s spawn?”
“You’d better watch it!” Henry says. He puts on a serious face, throws an arm around my shoulders, and pulls me in close. “That’s our child you’re talking about.”
Ty smiles, then looks at Jerry Rice. “Its eyes are seriously creeping me out. And I knew something was going on between you two.”
“You’re right,” Henry says. “Woods is my husband, and I’m her wife.”
