(Andrew)

"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."
?- Evone' -
Evone' smiled at his words. What he said sound so earnest and true. Did she dare believe it? The last time...yes the last time she trusted her heart it had not ended well for her. What if this was all part of some elaborate plan...after all hadn't Lucas sent Andrew to come and get her. Could it be possible that this was all just their way to get to her and hurt her?
Evone' nibbled her bottom lip, a telltale sign that she had much on her mind. She was still confused. Her mind was a bit muddled. But she dare not tell Andrew what she thought. If he were true, he would become angry with her for not trusting him. And if he were not true and worked with Lucas, she would time him off. And since at this moment she didn't know how to respond about his feelings for her and what he planned to do to her husband, she focused on something she could wrap her mind around. "I think seeing my father would be wonderful. He is all the way in France. do you think we can make it?"
