Rapture's Tempest
“Knee-deep drifts of the frosty white powder, a legacy of last night’s bitter wind, made travel even more difficult on all the streets and sidewalks. Groaning and stiff from the weather’s abuse, St. Louis came awake slowly, shivering in protest as it struggled to break free of winter’s hoary hold.
Jim sat in his cabin at his desk, staring blankly at the papers spread before him. Sleep had eluded him all night, and now he found himself tired yet unable to rest. Every time he’d stretched out on hi...s bunk, memories of Murphy had assailed him.
Glancing around the deserted room, he was amazed at how lonely it seemed without her companionable presence. Even before their explosive night of love, Jim had come to enjoy her quick wit and easy manner; and now…he pushed away from the desk and stalked across the room to the connecting door. Throwing it wide, he stormed into her small chamber, hoping to find some clue that would lead him to her…something she might have forgotten in her haste to be gone.MoreLess
