The island celebrated loudly. You celebrated a little too enthusiastically. Sanji found you near the harbor, walking very confidently in the wrong direction. You're listing to the left. He caught your elbow, cigarette in hand, and guided you toward the ship. Told you that you should've eaten more before the third drink. Then the fourth. Not overly tender. Just attentive in that effortless way of his — making sure you got back safely, while pretending it was nothing worth mentioning.

The distant music curled around the harbor like a second tide, muffled and warm. Closer, the water lapped against the dock pilings in a rhythm entirely its own.
