He watched Stockholm gentle fade into the distance as he sat with his satisfying beer on the Anastasia heading towards Tallinn. There was a piano concerto he did not recognise playing at a slightly louder volume than the inconsiderate group sitting at the table next to him, each one battling to be the loudest. He focused his attention back to the view outside; the seagulls that were following the ship seemed to dance, almost serenading each other to the concerto that was continuing its battle. The early summer evening sun was basking the picturesque islands that they gentle sailed between. He took a sip of beer; the beer tasted so much better than in Stockholm or maybe that was just his wallet talking. He glanced at the bar in anticipation of another medicinal beer or more to the truth he was eying up the attractive blonde who had served him. An old man was leaning over the bar towards her, his muscles tensed at the thought of someone eyeing up the same woman as him. He chuckled lightly to himself at the notion that the old man had even the slightest chance with her, he took another sip of his beer to hide the grin that was now on his face as he saw that the old man was on his tiptoes leaning over the bar trying to breathe in her aroma, she took a small step back and smiled jobs worthy at the old man’s efforts.
He looked over to the island where his Aunt Lara lived, as promised she was standing next to the boathouse waving frantically at the ship. He had visited her the last five summers, he wanted to make sure she was coping after Uncle Mats had died, show he was a caring nephew to his childless Aunt, and be someone who showed interest in keeping the family summer house in good condition. After the previous summers holiday had been more work than play he and decided to go on the mini-cruise to St Petersburg, he would meet his Aunt when he got back to Stockholm to help her get the remainder of her supplies before they both went to the island, himself for a week his Aunt for the rest of the summer, Lana never stayed on the island during the winter, she always returned to her apartment in Stockholm and her job
