The ship continued to drift aimlessly across the sea, with no clear destination in sight.
Tyler urged her to return, but Athena refused, so he simply stayed with her in silence.
Athena was clearly not doing well. Whatever she was thinking about, it was causing her to be sick repeatedly.
Tyler entertained a naive thought—could she be pregnant?
But Athena seemed to read his mind, smirking, "I'm on the pill every day."
Pregnancy was out of the question.
Tyler's hopeful expression faded, and she twisted the knife further.
"Even if I were pregnant, who's to say it's yours and not Marlon's?"
Her words reminded Tyler of his past mistakes. Karma, he thought. This was his reckoning.
He had set the ship to return to shore and had no desire to argue with her over something so trivial.
Athena sat on the deck, clothes damp, unmoving, like a statue.
Tyler didn't try to convince her otherwise. With two hours until they reached the coast and the vast, dark sea stretching endlessly around them, it was easy for one's spirits to sink.
So he turned on the ship's lights and fetched a fresh set of clothes. Without asking, he stripped off her wet clothes and helped her into dry ones.
Athena remained silent throughout.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
