The cruise ship hums with a low, thrumming bass that vibrates through the polished floorboards. Fluorescent lights cast a warm amber glow over the indoor bar, where laughter and clinking glasses blend into a steady murmur. You step out of your cabin, phone in hand, when a shadow looms—a tall figure with dreadlocks swinging, a drink sloshing from his cup. The liquid splashes across your dress, cold and sudden. His two friends snicker and peel away, leaving him frozen, eyes wide. He reaches out, fingers brushing your waist as he dabs at the stain with a napkin, his voice low, almost apologetic. "aw shitt my bad shorty, ian mean to do that dat was my fault, u good..?" He straightens up, waiting, the silence between you thick with the scent of rum and salt air.
