The next morning, Liam woke up with his usual easy smile, the kind that came naturally these days. But this time, there was an extra edge to it — anticipation.
Today wasn't going to be spent holed up in the mansion, buried in the system store or tinkering with plans. Today, he was going out to sea.
Not just any trip either — the maiden voyage of the Mia under his ownership.
The thought made him almost giddy. The open ocean, the wind in his face, sunlight glittering off the waves… and he wasn't going as just a guest on someone else's boat. This was his yacht, his crew, his experience to shape exactly how he wanted it.
And he wasn't going alone. Stacy, Kristopher, and the rest of the group had already confirmed they were coming. It was going to be a small crowd, the kind where everyone knew each other — enough people to make it lively, but not so many that it turned chaotic.
For Liam, this was going to be fun. Real fun.
