At nine o'clock, there came a loud explosion from the direction of the Croisette, and a kaleidoscopic explosion of light lit up the saloon. A fireworks display from a raft anchored in the bay. The guests inside the saloon began to go out on deck to get a better view, and Marshall thought he would too. He looked around for Michelle, but she was nowhere to be seen, so he decided he would go up onto the boat deck by himself. He did that, glass in hand, climbing the steps slowly, before finally standing at the rear of a small crowd, and watching the display against an ink black sky.

At nine o'clock, there came a loud explosion from the direction of the Croisette, and a kaleidoscopic explosion of light lit up the saloon. A fireworks display from a raft anchored in the bay. The guests inside the saloon began to go out on deck to get a better view, and Marshall thought he would too. He looked around for Michelle, but she was nowhere to be seen, so he decided he would go up onto the boat deck by himself. He did that, glass in hand, climbing the steps slowly, before finally standing at the rear of a small crowd, and watching the display against an ink black sky.

Then, after a few moments, Marshall became aware that somebody had come and stood close behind him. He turned. It was Stanton.
"That's quite an impressive show," Stanton said.
"Yes, they do it very well. The ones on Bastille Day tend to be spectacular."
They watched in silence for a couple of minutes, when Marshall sensed somebody was standing on the other side of him. He turned. It was Michelle. She put a hand on his shoulder. "Phil," she said, "let's go down to the staterooms."
"Don't you want to watch the fireworks?" he asked.
"We've seen them many times. Besides, I've just decided I'd like to…you know what."
"What, now?" Marshall asked.
"Precisely, now. During the fireworks display."
