At the sound of her name, she looked up at Andrew with a smile on her face. He would be able to see the happiness and peace in her eyes. With him...on this ship she felt at home.
"My god, have I told you just how fucking handsome you are?" she said reaching for his cheek and then sitting forward to kiss his lips softly.? She listened intently to his words until he said? "Lucas," she said softly. "Lucas is out there? Following us? You mean he's found me again? " He would see it there...in her eyes...fear, terror. She remembered what happened the last time. How Lucas has...what Lucas did... she hadn't been herself with him. He had changed her...
Evone's swallowed, nodded then stood. "What do we do?"?
(Andrew)
"I don't know for sure that it's him," Andrew said, collapsing the spyglass and tucking it away.? "But I can't imagine why any other ship would be acting the way this one is.? At any rate, it's probably safest to assume that it's him and his she-wolf partner."
He put an assuring hand on Evone's shoulder.? "I believe we can outrun him once the sun sets.? The trick is to know which tack he's most likely to take looking for us.? He knows where we're heading, and we know where he's heading. So it's a matter of which one of us out-guesses the other."? He tapped a finger against his chin, thinking.? "I don't want to end up going head-to-head with them if I can avoid it, at least for now.? The Elusive is faster but their ship has more guns."? He thought a moment longer, then nodded to some inner thought.? "We need a safe harbor.? And if possible an ally." Looking up, he gave Evone' a reassuring smirk.? "And I think I know where we can get both."
