so it goes like this: of all the holland america employees working in the dining room, this strapping dutch intern was assigned to my table. lucky me, right? not wanting to embarrass myself in front of him, i let everyone else in the family do the talking when he stopped by our table, while i nonchalantly made sure i didn't have poppy seeds between my teeth before flashing a smile. i won't lie, we made eye contact... twice during 12 days.
with 10 days of cruising gone by, i decided to take action. walking into dinner at 8pm, making sure that i was NOT in a crowd, he was standing at the entrance welcoming guests. perfect.
he wishes me "good evening." i square my shoulders, take a deep breath, look him straight in the eye and announce, "Good Morning!"
then i realize what just happened, blush, and slink off to my table. alright savan, what happened to poise? composure? you sounded like a complete oaf.
now i'm home. he's still cruising the high seas. and i'm still embarrassed.
