    Summary

    “—and I thought to myself where would Marina want to stay? Because you know me and if I booked where I wanted we’d be at some all-inclusive resort on the beach somewhere—and don’t get me wrong, I love seeing you in your swimsuit and I know you love listening to the ocean, but that just didn’t seem right after everything we went through. Too bright, I guess. And we’ve been on tour for so long and— I don’t know. I figured… We met in the forest—and— You like trees, I guess. I know we’re both city girls but also it’s supposed to rain all weekend and I just thought about you all snuggled up next to a fireplace in a treehouse and I kinda lost my mind a little. So. Stop grinning at me like that, Rina!”

    “You’re cute, Pearlie.”

    “I know! So are you! Look, let’s just— We’re almost there. Let’s check it out and if you hate it, we’ll go somewhere else, okay?”

    Marina can’t help the smile that splits her face in half, and Pearl sulks next to the window, arms crossed, watching the trees of Calamari County sail by. In the reflection of the window, Marina can see her smiling too.

    [Pearl and Marina finally get that us time.]
