?- Evone'
Evone had been learning so much on ship. So much that she hoped the crew consider her to be apart of the crew, not just the captain¡¯s lover. She couldn¡¯t swim yet, but hopeful that would come soon.
As she stood at the side rail looking out at the beautiful night sky. The stars, the moon. She nodded as he spoke to her, turning to walk into his embrace. ¡°Thank you for doing this for me. I¡ I don¡¯t know what to say.¡±

"Just say that you're mine," Andrew said, holding her close, "and that you always will be, whatever may come our way.? Just as I will be yours, no matter what lies ahead."? He was surprised and proud of how well Evone' was adapting to life on the ship.? The crew had gotten used to her presence and several of the men were more than happy to show her the ropes.? Quite literally when it came to the rigging and how to secure things with different ties and knots.

It was only a few days later that Andrew came to Evone' below deck and told her that he had a surprise for her and to close her eyes.? Once she'd done so, he led her up the stairs to the foredeck and pointed her to face outwards.? "Open your eyes now," he murmured, taking his hands away.
?
It was an island on the horizon, but Evone' didn't notice anything unusual about it and looked back to the Captain of the Elusive questioningly.? "It's called Ushant," Andrew explained.? "It means that we are now in French territorial waters.? And with any luck, tomorrow we'll make port in France itself."? He slipped his arms around his beloved's waist.? "It means you're almost home, my love.? We made it."
