Decision to stay: what happened anyway?

Island of Vulcano, Sicily---It's been a week since Marybeth left after 5 weeks with us. It was a turbulent time for me and I wrote about some of my emotions. Now, everything is as it never happened. When she left I was alone on their boat and an nice email came. But nothing was said to explain.

I am letting it go as something like a Mama Bear with her cubs scenario.

I have decided to stay on this voyage unless I am not wanted. And so I'm told, I am wanted...who would do the evening dishes?
