The week moved by boringly. Veronica and Michael spent as much time as possible with the Whitaker couple.
They got along really well, and not just because they pretended to. Marie was a genuine and kind person, who Veronica adored. His husband was a bit more drawn back, and he seemed to be horny all the time, but he was respectable, too.
The train stopped at a couple of cities and towns along the journey, which provided even more opportunity to be with the Whitakers.
The only issue was that to keep up appearances, they had to make a lot of fake stories about their life. Luckily, they weren't too familiar with the Islands, so lying wasn't too hard.
Today will be the last part of their journey. They were supposed to arrive at Vindra by midday, so they still had to get through breakfast, but that will only be later on.
