‘You’re the best family a girl could ask for!’ Denise had rarely discussed it with Daniel or Katrina, but Deborah rarely talked about her family...back in Hawaii. Her love sensed that something was amiss, but her love for Deborah made her hold back. In the future, she would have to insist on their discussing it, especially if they were going to make plans for the future. In the meanwhile, with her girlfriend’s slender, exotic body clad in a white lace stocking / heel ensemble, serious discussion. (Early that morning, a jubilant Uki and a bleary Outa and Higashidani are surrounded by mountains of straw hats.)Uki: We're done! We made it!Higashidani: See what I can do when I go all out? All right, we're going into town! Wrap 'em up!(The family strikes out with the hats in big bags on their backs. A farmer couple notices them.)Farmer: Higashidani? What're those bags? You running off then?Higashidani: Idiot! Me, running away in broad daylight? That'd be worse than me and Fudozawa killing. “You’d rather have her than me?” Angie asked.I turned to face Angie who was sitting on the couch, not quite sure how to answer that question.“I thought you were OK with me going out with her?”“I asked a legitimate question, Mike. I wasn’t complaining about you seeing her. It was just how you act around her versus how you act around me.”“What do you mean?” I asked.“You’re loose and relaxed around her; you’re stiff and tense around me. Well, when we’re alone and not running.”“I guess I didn’t. Then I got all the food out of my stomach and drank some coffee. I even managed to carry the captain a cup. The two deck hands as well. I watched as they put out the net and trolled for an hour then pulled it in. There were a lot of fish that were thrown in the hold, nothing went back into the ocean. I had no idea why but it didn't matter. I began to enjoy the experience. It was noon when I went back to the galley. I made and heated some cold cut sandwiches in the oven. I intentionally did not.
