“She perched on an outcropping of granite and stared across the bluest water she’d ever seen to yet another island.

Two spruce trees towering above her sang a playful tune on the soft breeze. She held several small pieces of red-veined jasper. The area abounded with jasper, along with wildlife, and birds, and trees, and fish. Things she knew so very litt...le about.
She set the jasper aside, pulled her knees to her chest and fixed her gaze on Nick, who continued paddling back and forth in figure eights, in tight circles, then in larger ones. He was running the prototype canoe through its paces again. Every now and then he’d stop and place small strips on the bow of the canoe.
