On a starry and moonlit night abroad a festive Royal Caribbean, beautiful Sally Holmes on her first cruise to the Caribbean, encountered the dashing Robert Meeks.  A confident Robert approached Sally and began hitting on her. Sally remained cool and was sure that she had seen him with a woman and kids that appeared to be his family.  Sure enough, as soon as things got started, Sally saw his family approaching.  Robert spotted them too and bolted.  That was where this story ended in the first episode of 20/20 in The Caribbean Sea.

One would have thought that would be the end of this story.  Sally made her way to her upper cabin, cocktail in hand, looked at the view from her suite, as the ship glided on.  Thoughts of this simple encounter raced through her mind. She kept telling herself over and over again, ”He’s married.  He has a family.  I don’t know anything about this man.”

“But, why these thoughts?  It’s just one of those things.  You meet a guy.  He hits on you, and that’s the way it goes.”

Sally decided to get comfortable.  She slipped off her dress and shoes.  She laughed to herself and thought, a cold shower will do her good.  She washed and began feeling better.  

“I’m not a home wrecker.  Why these thoughts?”  She pondered.  ”This is going much too far.  Is something wrong with me?  Am I confused?”

Her thinking made her tired.  She threw herself on the bed, and pulled the covers over her.  Her plan was to get up early next morning, get dressed, and have breakfast in the main dining room.  Immediately, she dozed off with the lights on, woke up around three in the morning to use the bathroom, and her imagination again took the better of her.

“What am I doing to myself?  I don’t know this guy.  He’s married.  Are you going to fall for a married man now.”

She dismissed all these thoughts as silly, climbed back into bed, and was fast asleep.

Robert on the other hand was happy that he was not caught red handed.  He told his wife that Sally was only a friend that he had met.  It was bedtime for their kids, Amanda and Jeffrey.  Amanda had just turned 13, and Jeffrey was 11. Back in their room, Jennifer, Robert’s wife, was happy, for they were celebrating their 14th wedding anniversary, and she whispered in Robert’s ears, she was all his, after the kids were in bed.
