The stewardess noticed the couple having their breakdown and began walking over to their seats. She leaned down in front of the couple as they both felt someone near, and lifted their heads, while still embracing each other in a hug, with tears filling their eyes. Beth was facing away from her, and Mark's head was just far enough above Beth's shoulder to see the stewardess put her hand on Beth's back and rub her in small relaxing motions.
"Hey now. What are you two so upset about? You are about to embark on an incredible journey, that could very well bring you closer than ever." Said the stewardess.
Mark replied in a soft voice, still shaky. "We had no idea what this was. How do we get out of this?"
"I'm confused." Replied the stewardess. "Did you not read the reward upon fulfillment of your contract? Typically that is the primary reason for couples signing up."
Both Beth and Mark looked at the stewardess, as Beth began turning to face her, still holding onto Mark in a partial hug.
Both inquisitively asking at the same time. "What reward?"
The stewardess, now grinning, says, "well this was all in the contract but since clearly neither one of you read any of it, I will summarize it for you." She realized that she had Beth and Mark's complete and undivided attention.
"We have set up a savings account that will receive daily deposits during your stay, and if you choose to extend your contract, deposits will be made monthly. The initial deposit of $5,000 has already been made upon your arrival. Consider it a signing bonus."
When it was obvious that they had 100 questions running through each of their heads. She decided to postpone this conversation for their orientation. "Let's just say that depending on your cooperation and dedication, both during and after your stay on the island, this can be very rewarding when it comes to your financial health. We will continue this conversation and get into some more details shortly. But for now, let's get you two to your orientation and settled into your suites and ready to have the best vacation ever!"
The stewardess stood up, and straightened her white button up shirt by tugging it down from the bottom of the shirt. She then smoothed the wrinkles out of her black form fitting skirt that went down to just above her knees by running her hands half way down her outer thighs. Smirking at Mark, as she shoots him a wink. Beth sees this and immediately turns her head to look at Mark. Mark realizes he got caught and quickly looks at Beth, just in time to see her face go from sad and fearful, to ashamed and slightly disgusted. Beth reached out and pushed her closed fist into Mark's shoulder. "Seriously?" Beth said.
The stewardess then turned her attention to Beth and rested a hand on Beth's shoulder and said, "Don't worry sweetie, they will fix that pretty quickly". Beth, looking at the stewardess with a confused look on her face, said "what do you mean?"
"Oh you will see."
