Her heart skipped a beat when he began to play with her hair. What if he found the dagger? That would ruin the fun before it even started. “I don’t know exactly what caused us to become friends, if I were to guess, I’d say Blayne had something to do with it. I know he was the reason we became close. He’d bully me and you’d beat him up. Finally you taught me how to beat him up, but you still did it anytime you were around. We had a common background, both our fathers were merchants and we both loved the sea. It was like we were meant to be together.” She smiled up at him.

The sound of his heart beating steadily was making her sleepy again. She’d never had this much time to sleep before, she normally worked on a few hours of sleep. Now that she had free time her body was almost forcing her to rest whenever she could. She couldn’t sleep now though and began telling about their adventures they’d had as children. She told about him teaching her to fight, how they’d almost been trapped in a sea cave when the tide was coming in, she told him about everything she could remember.
