She couldn't help but smile as Katy and Mikkel chimed in. They were very sweet, it was hard not to respond to that. She opened her eyes as they encouraged her, still very much relaxed in the warm water, tendrils of her blond hair floating on the surface of the water. She nodded to Katy.<br/><br/>"Yes, yes of course this is an adventure, I won't forget for a day how lucky I am to be here," she said softly. She was touched as Mikkel continued, his words and sentiment so warm it made her blush a little to be the focus of his attention. Whatever her nervousness she couldn't deny she had been partnered with some very special people. She gave his hand a squeeze before he let hers  go.  "I think we all have a journey to go on here. Some of us just have a little further to go. One thing for certain, it won't be dull judging by how it's begun."<br/><br/>She didn't look away from Mikkel until she felt the soft brush of Sean's leg and heard his question about the morning. She turned into him, just a little, letting him know the contact was welcome, and brushed his thigh with her fingertips under the water.  "I'll go but I'm afraid I might slow you down. I've never run on sand before."<br/>
