The Sea Hawk
“"I have much to do. Please rest in my cabin until I am ready." Once again Julia started to protest, but was overcome with exhaustion. Nodding, she entered Simone's cabin. Lying down on the soft bed, she was nearly asleep before her head hit the pillow. Simone drew a light duvet over her and couldn't resist observing the sleeping woman for a few moments before returning to her duties. IT WAS STILL barely daylight when Julia was awakened by a light shaking of her shoulder. Momentarily disoriented..., she rubbed her face and opened her eyes. Simone stood next to the bed. "We are ready," she said softly. Julia swung her legs off the bed and glanced around. Spotting a water basin on a small table, Julia poured some water into the basin and splashed it on her face. When she turned around, Simone handed her a small towel. "Where will you do it?" Julia asked. "On deck. It will be easier to clean up than the crew's quarters." Simone placed her hand on Julia's back as she escorted her back onto the deck.MoreLess
