Chapter 41: Going on land.

Two days passed before Rosa-Lee finally saw a longboat rowing towards the Contra O Vento.

In all this time, she had neither heard from nor seen Roberto or Pierre. She paced their cabin nervously. She was not sure what was going on, but she felt uneasy, and all the uncertainty and doubts settled in her mind. She kept thinking of all the evidence against the man she now called husband.

Her pirate.

She loved him. That much she knew.

He was not acting like the pirates her father told her about. The cruel ways of their existence were not a part of him, or of Pierre, for that matter. The two were best friends but they rarely spoke about themselves, never let her in on the bond they shared.

Then there was that letter she had delivered to the Captain of the D.E.I.C ship. Why would a pirate hand a D.E.I.C captain a letter? It did not add up.
