NICOLE It's the last day of work for the week, and then Sebastian and I will be on the cruise ship tomorrow. I don't like how my stomach churns every time I think about it. I'm not looking forward to it at all—and I hate that I'm approaching it with this state of mind. I'm not letting Sebastian see this side of me, though. The trip won’t be a long one. I’ll try to focus on the time we’ll spend together rather than his family if we do happen to come across them. I have a feeling he won’t cut them off the way he claimed he would during the trip. It would be unfair for me to ask him to do so, because at the end of the day, they’re family, and if I’m bothered, then I’m the one who should leave. My work day is pretty steady. Sebastian has a few meetings today, so I have lunch right
