First In Line

"So, what is this big floating place you were talking about?" Eliza asked after our food was brought out to us.

We had been talking more about other mother-daughter pairs while waiting for our food, but now that it was here, we switched topics.

"Well, Since we are going to have all the women from the wall looking for work after then, I thought I should try to find something for them to do. I assumed they would want to come with me, but they might just want to stay behind. Then there are the other women that seem to want to join us to help, but it seems silly to only have to do work for us," I explained as I took a bite out of the sandwich, making a moaning sound as I did.

The sandwich was delicious, and they had even given me a small bowl of Au Jus, basically its own broth from cooking. Dipping it in made it absorb and soak into the crusty bun, giving the sandwich even more depth of flavor.
