'''Longlisted for the [[Orange Prize for Fiction 2012]]'''
Despite not being ''quoits and gin slings and rubbers of bridge people'' Elizabeth and Derek have embarked on a cruise. Derek is probably hoping to propose, but things do not go as planned. From the moment they encounter a stranger as they board the ship, the cruise proves to be revelationary for all concerned.
