Ravishing Ruby (2016)
“Anne. Anne. Derek repeated the name in his mind again and again, hoping to feel a tinge of something, care, guilt, anticipation, or even dread.
Nothing.
How did he picture life once his vows were said? A few weeks, or less, in London. An ocean voyage. Introducing her to his family. Finding a house. And then…?
He’d never really thought about and then. He supposed he’d pictured his life continuing in the same vein as it had run for the last few years. He’d spend a month at home and then leave for... six or more. His time at home would be spent visiting family and attending to those tasks that had been put off far too long. He’d take new cargo and then be off to far ports. And if sometimes he aimed the Dawn’s Light where his whimsy took him there’d be none to gainsay him. He’d owned the ship outright for several years now, trading his captain’s share for ownership until she was his.
How would a wife change that? Would she change that?
He couldn’t see himself hurrying home to Anne.MoreLess
