Marissa immediately opened her eyes and looked over at Ryan in disbelief. Ryan was standing in the doorway and when Marissa looked over at him, he took a few steps into the boat.

Marissa: What are you doing here?

Ryan continued walking towards Marissa.

Ryan: I'm doing what you told me to do.

Marissa: What?

Ryan stopped right in front of Marissa, their bodies almost touching.

Ryan: I'm doing what makes me happy.

Marissa looked deep into Ryan's blue eyes as she tried to hold back tears. Ryan slowly leaned in, cupping Marissa's cheek in his hand. Ryan let his forehead rest on Marissa's their lips merely centimeters apart.

Ryan: I was happy once…with you…

Marissa: Ryan…I…

Ryan: Shh…

Before Marissa could respond Ryan's lips locked with hers. At first, it was soft, gentle even, and Marissa began to feel her knees go weak. Ryan could feel this and slowly slid his arms around her waist, pulling her in even closer to him. When the kiss finally broke, neither moved, they let their foreheads rest on the other ones again, just savoring the fact that they were in each other's arms once again. After a few seconds Marissa moved and laid her head on Ryan's shoulder. In turn, Ryan buried his head in Marissa's neck, and whispered in her ear.

Ryan: (Whispering) I missed you.

Marissa: I missed you too…everyday.

Ryan nuzzled his head deeper into Marissa's neck, Marissa thought she heard a muffled sob come from Ryan, but she didn't say anything, the only movement she made was moving her arms up and wrapping them around Ryan's neck, tears still falling from her eyes…except this time they weren't tears of sorrow.

A few hours later, Ryan and Marissa were sprawled out on the very top of Jimmy's boat. The music was still playing, and could be heard distinctly in the night air. Ryan lay on his back, with Marissa at his side, using his shoulder as a pillow. Marissa had an arm draped across Ryan's stomach, while her legs were completely tangled up in his. They both lay there in silence; listening to the music and staring out at the ocean and up at the stars. Ryan looked over at Marissa and placed a kiss on the top of her head, a smile appeared on her face as she moved her head to look up at Ryan.

Ryan: I haven't seen that smile in a long time.

Marissa: I haven't had much to smile about in a long time…

Ryan looked at Marissa; a look of concern lay on his face.

Marissa: …but I do now…right.

Ryan: Yeah, you do.

Marissa smiled again and leaned up and kissed Ryan. When the kiss finally broke, Ryan looked down at his watch.

Ryan: It's almost 2:00…I should probably…

Marissa: (Interrupting) Stay.

Ryan: (Smiling) Or that…

Marissa cuddled up closer into Ryan.

Marissa: Please stay.

Ryan: Okay.

The two went back to listening to the music and staring up at the night sky.

Ryan: Marissa…

Marissa shifted slightly looking up at Ryan again.

Ryan: …this time…no lies…okay, from either of us.

Marissa looked into Ryan's eyes and nodded her head.

Marissa: Agreed.

Ryan smiled leaning his head down so it lay on Marissa's.

Ryan: Good…now that we got that out of the way, let's go to bed.

Marissa: Sounds good.

The two made their way off the top of boat and went inside, this time shutting the door behind them. Marissa quickly walked over to the closet pulling out something to sleep in and quickly changing. Ryan turned his back as she changed, trying to look distracted by something. Marissa turned around to see Ryan staring at the wall, and she started laughing.

Marissa: I'm not convinced.

Ryan turned towards her and blushed slightly as Marissa pulled the comforter on the bed up and slipped in. Ryan walked over to the bed and stopped, looking down at Marissa. He looked around the small boat awkwardly.

Marissa: I hope you're not planning on sleeping on the floor.

Ryan smiled, as Marissa grabbed his hand and pulled him down onto the bed. Ryan got under the covers and Marissa immediately snuggled up to him. The two fell into their old sleeping habits quickly. Ryan wrapped his arms around Marissa, and pulled her closer to him. They each wrapped their arms around the other one and drifted off to sleep.
