?She wrapped her arms around him and sighed. Hugging him tight, taking in his scent. It was good to be with him again. In the arms of someone who loved and cared for her. That pain hit her heart when she thought
of Lucas. She thought he had loved her¡he didn¡¯t. He only married her for¡what? Her money? She didn¡¯t have any money. Her father did. Did he marry her for her father¡¯s money?
?They had been married for five years now. Was this all a trick? Did he set up this trip to do this from the very beginning? The thought pained her. And she had to blink back tears¡god she was crying again.
She hated to cry. She would be glad when whatever they gave her wore off.
Evone¡¯ smiled at his clarification. ¡°Thank you for clearing that up. But I think you most definitely are a pirate as well.¡± At his puzzled look she said ¡°because you have taken my heart from me and I do not
want it back.¡± Then her eyes went very serious. ¡°Please do not break it. I do not think I would survive is you do.¡±

"I dare not do anything that would break your heart," Andrew said, taking her hands in his. "for my heart is now in your hands as well. We are, I feel, linked now, by fate and by love." The Captain of the Elusive sighed as he glanced to where his ship was crawling with crewmen carrying out repairs.? "But we have much to do, the two of us.? When we can finally set sail again, we need to find this husband of yours _and_ his pirate partner and bring them to account.? And we should also visit your father to make sure he has not been misled into any scheme of theirs."? Looking back to Evone', Andrew kissed her hands. "I will not rest until I am sure that you are truly safe and that they will never be able to harm or hurt you in any way."
Resuming their walk along the beach, he added in a tone that was casual but not at all joking, "I hope you will not be too distressed if your dear husband ends up being shot or hanged."
