<em>- Bo in Lounge -</em><br/><br/>Bo was relaxing in the soft leather chair, the orange crackle of the fire warming his outsides as the scotch did his insides, when Nicci moved away from him.  He had enjoyed the feeling of her leaning up against his leg, but perhaps she had been uncomfortable after all and his stopping the massage had been the excuse she needed to move away.  Now that the space between his legs was open, he felt a bit uncomfortable with the way he was sitting with knees spread, so he crossed one ankle over the other knee as the girls were chatting about yoga and jogging.  He'd be really impressed if they stuck with jogging in the weather that he knew was coming soon.  He'd be out in it, as he had come prepared, but he wondered if they would.  He doubted it.  There was a difference between being "outdoorsy" and having the mental toughness to enjoy mother nature in all her brutality.<br/><br/>When Nicci mentioned traveling the world without truly seeing it, he understood.  It was something with which he could empathize and he was about to tell her just that when she got to her feet and announced the end of her evening.<em>Oh well</em>, he thought,<em>another time</em>.  It had been a long day for all of them.  Perhaps an early night was a good idea.  Her stifled yawn set one off in him that he covered with his hand.<br/><br/>Bo wanted an early start at exploring the island anyway.  He stood as Nicci finished her 'good night', the glass of scotch in hand.  What remained would make for an excellent nightcap.<br/><br/>"Good idea Nicci."  He doubted anyone here would be up with him at 4:30am, so he didn't bother making the offer.  He paused for a moment, his eyes casting along the coffee table as he wasn't quite sure what to say to cap the evening.  Then he looked around to each person as he said what he felt, "I have a good feeling about this.  For the first time in a while, I feel like I'm where I'm suppose to be."  It was a simple thing to say, he realized afterwards, but it was plainly honest.  As was he.
