“You know, that’s not a bad idea. I’ll think about it. Right now, would you mind very much if I took a shower?”

“Not at all. There’s a towel in the top drawer.” I said, pointing to the dresser. She thanked me and went for it. “I’ll be out watching my wife exercise.” I said, leaving. I went to the ship’s gym and sat in a chair. My wife exercised, grabbed a towel, and went for our cabin. I was about to get up and follow, when the sailor stopped me to question me about the man in Jenn’s room. Boy was my wife in for a shock.

She went into the cabin and got a clean towel. Noticing one was missing, and hearing the shower on, she suspected that I was in the shower. Thinking nothing of it, she went into the bathroom, undressed and got in the shower, which was big enough for two people. She got one look at Jenn, screamed, and ran out of the shower. She grabbed the towel. Both the sailor and I heard the scream and ran for my cabin.

“It sounds like another intruder!” The sailor said.

“You’re right.” I said, running into my cabin. Once inside, my wife came running toward me and put her arms around me.

“There’s another woman in that shower. I knew you didn’t love me!”

“Honey, wait.” I said. “It’s all right, Brent. It’s just a mix up.”

“Okay. I’ll be outside in case anybody needs me.” He said, leaving. Jenn came out of the bathroom dressed in a towel. My wife released her grip.

“Darling, I would like you to meet Jenn. We met when we first came on board. Jenn was attacked in her cabin today, and I told her that she could stay here until her nerves calmed down. She asked if she could take a shower and I said yes. You don’t mind, do you honey?”

“I guess not.” She said. “Jenn, do you forgive me?”

“Yes, I could understand. I’m to be married in a couple of weeks.” Jenn and my wife hit it right off. They talked with each other and shared clothes.

“Jenn,” I said, “I think I’ll sleep in your room tonight, just in case someone else feels like attacking you.”

“Thanks. I owe you so much already.”

“Think nothing of it.” I replied. “I think I’ll go over there now and check it out. Would you like to come with me and get any necessities to move into my room?”

“Yes, thank you.” She replied, getting up. She followed me to her cabin where she picked up a lot of clothes and left. I put some of the clothes that I had brought into the closet. It was getting time for lunch, for which I dressed and left the room for my cabin. There I knocked on the door and my wife and Jenn came out. Giving them both of my arms, we proceeded to the Dining Hall.

“Wow! This must be my lucky day. I get to escort two different girls to the Dining Hall!”

“Watch it.” My wife muttered. We went in and ate. That night everything was fine. I went to sleep in Jenn’s room.

The next morning I was up at 7:00. We were to depart from the boat at noon. I went to my cabin and peered in the window. My wife was up, but Jenn was still in bed. Not wanting to disturb her, I went for one last walk on the deck. I came back around eight and went to eat breakfast. Jenn and my wife seemed to have developed a winning relationship. I was beginning to admire my wife more and more. It’s a shame that she’s just a hologram.

After breakfast they went to the exercise program and I went along to watch. After that we all went to our final lunch. The boat came to dock and we packed our bags. We came into port and were greeted by the usual things.
