Georgia's POV
With the help of the two cadets, Nick's cabin was stripped bare in minutes. The air still carried his scent, and part of me hated how easily the room became just another empty space.
Steven insisted we join the crew for one last dinner, a farewell for Nick.
Nick tried to decline, but the Chief Cook bribed him with all his favorite dishes, and that was the end of his protest.
By the time Liam, Vicky, and Ella returned to the ship, the mess hall had transformed. Streamers hung above the tables, warm light casting a golden glow over the room.
A lavish buffet stretched along the left side, the scent of roasted meat and spiced sauces drifting down the hallway, teasing my senses and making my stomach growl.
