As Mark listened to the singer talk about what she thought of the cruise, the barman placed the whiskey in front of them with gingerale. Mark watched the singer pour the ginger ale into the glasses and mix it all up, Mark was wondering if that would make the drink taste better or worst, then he saw the singer take a sip. When she asked if he was here with friends he felt sort of embarrassed, because the truth was he was with his parents here because they insisted him to come instead of wasting time back home, being that he didn't make it into a college or have a job. "Yeah, I guess." he eventually answered as he looked at his drink. He picked it up and took a baby sip, and it tasted pretty gross to him but if he spat it out or something like that, he'd look dumb, so he regretfully took a a longer drink. "I'm sorry but I never got your name," he said.
