Breakfast On Board


Surrounded by a crowd she stood alone in the dining room.  Her travel companions were still in bed sleeping off the excesses of the night before.  

They had gone to the night clubs on board the cruise ship, dancing and drinking until the wee hours of the night, waking her up with lights and laughter.  Her headache having faded with sleep she greeted them with false moans and pulled her pillow over her head.

When a growling stomach insisted on her finding breakfast, she slipped out without disturbing their slumber and joined the throng of fellow passengers at the buffet.
