Tanaga strode up to the yacht carrying his sleeping beauty in his arms. Actually, Ashley had woken moments ago. But she was savoring the joy of the moment, and thrill of being a newlywed. So, she continued pretending to be asleep, clinging tightly to Tanaga's neck.
Tanaga noticed her grip tightening and realized she was now awake. He pretended not to notice, enjoying the moment. He also didn't want his nosy butler to have any more reason to meddle.
The yacht crew was in line watching Tanaga board, bowing in his honor, as was their custom. When he reached the end of the line, the crewmen cheered out, "Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Jones!" Offering a round of applause afterward.
