As always, Jason agreed with Alicia’s idea. It sounded like a good plan: check out the stores briefly, find somewhere for shelter, circle back around later. They checked houses, and found a few supplies lingering around. Not only did they find shelter, but they found vehicles with a full tank of gas. The day went just about as perfect as could be expected. It was finally time to meet everyone back at the Abigail, so Jason walked with her all the way back, fingers still laced together.<br/><br/>“You were right to feel this way, Alicia. This really did work out quite well for us. I knew we would find something good. I’m happy to see that you’re feeling better now, that you’re so optimistic. I’ve missed seeing that.” It was tough to feel happy these days, but this couple managed to do it daily. There were still little things in life they could enjoy, there was still reason to have hope. “You give me hope. I hope that I give it to you as well. I know things aren’t great, but I always believe that we will overcome this, get better. We have to be alright.”<br/><br/>Back at the yacht, the rest of their group returned. Everyone was disappointed, because there was a whole lot of nothing where they looked. Conversely, Jason and Alicia hit the jackpot, so everyone fully agreed on going with the young man and woman to the house they found. “Alicia, do you think we should get settled in a house now and go check out the stores tomorrow? Or do you think we should wait until tomorrow before we check them out? I think we should just get settled down tonight, since we can have the entire day to explore. Besides, we have enough supplies to get us through tonight. That much is obvious.”<br/><br/>Again, if the female believed that they should check out the store tonight, then they could. Otherwise, they could just set up everything at a house for their shelter. Either way, they were going to have a roof over their head tonight. They were going to have access to supplies tomorrow, cars, and other luxurious items that were rare to have. Perfect. Today was a great day, of course. Jason was ecstatic. They were going to make something out of this place after all.
