"This is really nice, isn't it?" Michiru asks as the two women enjoy a glass of champagne and watch the sun go down. She had been spending the last few days lounging in the hot tub, swimming in the ocean, playing the violin, driving around in Haruka's convertible, and generally getting lost in her own thoughts. It had been a most relaxing time for the aqua goddess.
"Definitely," the blonde agrees, feeling more at ease. Haruka had been spending her time organizing the sales of her properties and possessions, watching the Tenoh Motors stock go up and down until it stabilized at a higher-than-expected value due to a large share purchase by Kaioh Enterprises, and answering her successor's frantic calls and emails on a regular basis. She was in need of a real break.
"Any idea what you want to do next, Ms. former F1 champion and former CEO?"
Taking a long breath to think and to savour the moment, Haruka finally settles on her most honest answer. "It doesn't matter, as long as I'm with you."
