On and on the inane conservation ran. Olivia considered leaving her cousin to be picked apart by this maggot. She considered it but immediately rejected the idea. Suzie was her responsibility. So instead of removing herself, Olivia looked around for a distraction.
She looked out the window but all she saw was ocean. She scanned her fellow passengers. Among them was an elderly couple that seemed to be still very much in love. They held hands and gazed into each other's eyes. A young child was revealing amazing athleticism by walking unaided on the back of a bench. Other children sat reading books or raced around screaming. There were women in shorts that shouldn't have been wearing shorts. There were men with beer bellies discussing sports.
