After Bruno made his surprise offer to me, Mitzi and I had a heartfelt discussion that evening on our private balcony outside the suite. She felt dubious about his offer. ‘It sounds not only too good to be true, Sasha, but what kind of business is Bruno involved in?’

When I show Mitzi the picture of Bruno’s New York building, Mitzi says, ‘I can see how rich and powerful he is, but he isn’t too choosy about the kind of business he gets into. The talk at the Cats’ Collective was that he was involved in pretty dicey operations. We don’t want to get caught up in anything like that, do we?’
I assured Mitzi that I have no desire to be associated with Bruno long-term, but we are stuck on this ship. We don’t know how long it will last or what lies in store for us at the end of the voyage.
So far, my attempts to contact Lynette haven’t been very successful. Some of my texts get through, but we cannot speak on the phone. When I told her about Bruno’s proposal, she advised me not to get involved. But she couldn’t suggest what else I could do.
I think I will go along with the training and work on the boat. I don’t have many options there. But I will tell Bruno I need time to decide how much I can participate. After all, I am a carer for my human, and I need to take that into account. How well he will take that as an excuse remains to be seen.
