Tanya: Set Sail

It’s 7am, and I step outside and hail a taxicab. It’s April, but still cold, and the wind pulls at my cloak. My sister is watching my daughter, still asleep upstairs, as the cab rushes me to the docks. Edward left an hour ago. I leap from the cab and run to the ship, up the gangplank, where I must introduce myself, Sarah Eleanor Smith, to these new stewards who don’t know me. They let me pass, and I run to my husband’s side. I didn’t come last time. This time, I’ll fix it.

“Darling, let’s take the southern route.”
