The past year had been a bit crazy for Ruth. Well, not that crazy, in the sense that she wasn't super famous or rich at this point, but still, she would never have expected to have gotten a novel published so soon after graduating high school. As it was, although she wasn't nearly among any type of best sellers - but then, with her genre that was to be expected - she'd made a pretty good amount of money from the sales of her book, and she'd landed herself a really good deal for representation. She'd just finished another one that she'd sent in for editing a month or so ago, and she'd already started working on a third novel. That was what her editor had advised her to do - just keep writing, never wait for anything to get published to start working on your next story, and she took that advice to heart. She had, also, obviously made sure to make up for her mistake of not sharing anything with Via until she'd gotten news that she'd be published for her first novel, and she'd included her fiancee with pretty much every step of the creation since then - sometimes in a very fun fashion, too.
With how much writing she'd been doing though, on top of still having her part time job seeing as she wasn't quite to the point of being able to say she could live off of her writing, she'd started getting a bit burned out on the edges, and so she'd suggested to Via going on vacation during the holidays. Neither of them were particularly family oriented, so a week alone to just relax and do whatever they wanted would do them some good. She'd looked up all sorts of options, trying to find the best price she could for such a busy time of year, and they'd agreed that a cruise would be best. They'd left on the Sunday of Christmas week, and it'd already been two blissful days now since they'd set sail. They'd taken a pretty strong liking to the adults only section of the ship, which was a lot quieter than the general pool area, and as such, first thing in the morning, they generally went over to get a nice dose of sunshine by the pool side before they even thought of getting breakfast. Which was why she was currently comfortably laying in the sun, her fingers brushing against Via's as she lay next to her.
