The moment Andy stirred in her sleep, a part of her brain told her she was no longer on the ship even though she couldn't remember exactly where she was.
However, once her eyes opened, she remembered. How could she not? When a pair of green eyes hiding behind round rim glasses were peering into her face with curious admiration.
Andy's first reaction was to smile, while the little girl took a step back from the bed, "I didn't mean to wake you up. Honest to God," she said, raising her right hand solemnly.
Andy yawned as she sat up on the bed and stretched, "You didn't wake me up," Andy said as she glanced at the window and was surprised to see it was bright as day already outside.
"Good morning, Maribel. Did you sleep well?" Andy asked, wondering why the little girl was always on glasses.
"Good morning, Andy. Yes, I did. I hope you did too?" Maribel asked, and Andy smiled as she gave her a nod.
