“Remind me why we are on this cruise Jack’?” I said casually, “Would it be a cliché to say I feel a bit adrift.” Jackie laughed, “We’re both in our late twenties we’re both single and we thought that we might meet someone, maybe a special someone. If not, we’ll just have a fantastic time!” “Oh yes, that’s right,” I winced, but I knew I had to made an effort. “Well, we better try and make the most of it. Want a cocktail Sis’?” “Go for it!” Jackie said. She ruffled my hair as I passed her by. I’d had a bad break-up in the year and Jackie had amazed me by telling me she had booked this cruise as a Christmas present for us. I didn’t really believe that there would be a chance of anything happening as I had felt hollow for ages, but spending time with my sister was a tonic, we’d always got on well. As I walked to the bar the DJ was playing ‘Wonderwall’ by Oasis, which didn’t improve my mood. I ordered the cocktails then made my way back, but she wasn’t alone. Beside
