Sky didn't allow them to order beer again. After dinner, they sent four singles back to their room before going boating.
Since it was getting colder, Arlo brought her jacket before leaving. But there were only two boats left.
"You guys go on." Sky said as she brought Arlo back.
"Ms.Sky, you guys should go." Jimmy said as he came back.
"No No, I will be scared on the boat. At least you guys should enjoy." After finishing, Sky brought Arlo aside without letting them respond.
"Scared on the boat?" Sanem asked looking at departing figures. Jimmy helped her on the boat as he replied, "Ms.Sky is Aquaphobiac."
Then both boats left from shore. Sky sat near the lake with Arlo. Both enjoyed mountain range and lake view under the moonlight.

The next day after breakfast, everyone went to the vineyard. They all got baskets to get grapes first. Sky's basket and Arlo's basket was with him. Sky would pluck grapes and put in baskets as she tasted grapes.
If she liked, she would feed Arlo and would call Sam who was in a different lane and made him try the taste. After filling the basket, all returned. Seeing both baskets in Arlo's hands, Peter and Jimmy had to carry their wife's baskets too.
Arlo took the basket from her but Sky was cursed by Jimmy and Peter.
There were big vat and multiple small vats. Another side was open for the public where many were stomping.
"Ms.Sky! How about a game?" Peter asked.
Sky raised her brows. Peter continued, "Let's stomp in twos. Whoever fills five liters first will get to decide the next outing. Deal?"
"Bring it on." Sky said and saw Peter went with his wife. Jimmy with his wife. Maxwell and Clark left discussing something.
Sky looked at three men next to her. "You three will not go with each other, right?"
They didn't reply and it was obvious. Sky who had removed her jacket was thinking who to make them stay and whom to take.
She extended her hand at Arlo who took her jacket and dragged Sam. "Ethan, you should talk with Arlo and stop running away from him."
Ethan rolled his eyes and sat on the bench. After seeing Sky with Sam, everyone darted a look at Arlo who was seating like a crowned king wearing sunglasses and keeping Sky's jacket on his lap.
Peter and Jimmy cooperated well with their wives. Clark and Maxwell were good but they would feel awkward when they had to stomp near.
The coordination between Sky and Sam was always best in them. Instead of standing face to face, they stood by side to side and circled inside the vat. Sky held his arms and stomped as they spoke.
Elina who was talkative with Peter soon distracted and started speaking as her pace deteriorated. "Peet, I thought Ms. Sky would take her husband."
"She always had a good relationship with Sam. There is nothing to be surprised about."
"You always say she is aloof. See how she is stomping like a little girl. Who will say she is the president of such a big conglomerate?"
Peter looked at them. Sam had a faint smile and Sky was chuckling. "When she is around us or family, she will be like this. Don't you remember how she avoids other people in your Bridal shower? Sweetheart, stomp stomp."
Elina nodded. "She is so dainty. You said she took down four men alone. How? Isn't it over exaggerating."
Peter flicked on her nose. "She isn't that strong but her self defense is strong. Her quick reflexes and attacks on sensitive parts are enough to bring a man down. She can't fight head-on."
Elina continued for sometime before changing the topic.
Sanem was asking something similar questions to Jimmy. They were intimate couples who will always hold hands or wrap around hands-on another one.
"Jimmy! Why Ms.Sky is with Sam? Won't her husband feel bad?"
Jimmy was surprised to hear such questions from his wife. "Brother Sam was present and accompanied her before her husband came. Ms.Sky isn't someone to leave others just because she got a new one."
Whereas Sky was talking about games and food with Sam. She saw the measuring jar was filled above five liters and announced excitedly. "We won! We won!"
Others had around four liters only. "Ms.Sky! You two will decide our next outing." Maxwell announced.
"Sister Sky, please make it adventurous, this is a little too much boring."
Sky knew he didn't like and he joined the game so that he doesn't have to go to similar places if he wins. "Sure!"
"Clark! Our choice was never boring like Peter." Sam gave his remark looking at Peter as he exited the vat.
Peter snorted. He wanted to choose some trekking kind of things. But his wife made him choose the place.
Sky had stepped out to go near taps to clean but Arlo carried her effortless making the other two women envious. Whereas Peter and Jimmy ran away leaving them in the vat.
Sky was used to Arlo carrying her for no reason so she didn't react much. Elina and Sanem took taps next to her and asked questions, "Ms.Sky! you helped me to run away from home for my love marriage."
"You were my bridesmaid at my wedding. But why is your marriage life is so romantic than our love married life?"
'Romantic?' Sky thought to herself and looked behind where Arlo was standing.
Sky smiled awkwardly to herself remembering about 'Gay' and replied, "It isn't about marriage. Arlo was like this even before our marriage. So pull your husband's ear and teach them."
Sky tried to be funny. Elina glanced at Peter who wasn't far away, "When I asked him, he said I'm not Ms.Sky."
Sky laughed, "And he is not Arlo. So don't compare us with you guys. Peter is funny and I like that but that doesn't mean I will ask Arlo to be like him. Everyone has their own uniqueness and we shouldn't expect one to be like the other one."
Both nodded in understanding when Arlo lovingly rubbed her head with his palm hearing her.
Elina noticed it, "I understand but I'm so jealous of you guys." She said and left as Sanem wiped her legs and went to wear her sandals.
