~ Catch the Wind ~
His darling wife gone to dust along with their son, and now Elizabeth, too, the light of his days. What now did it matter who had won, or what he became?
“I’m sorry, Governor,” Norrington said, and there was honest emotion in the man’s face.
Weatherby rasped, “I should have been… stricter in her upbringing.” But a sob of laughter escaped. An absurd thing to say, given who she was. Who he was. And the degree to which everything had gone wrong.
Norrington smiled, but the hand he put to Weatherby’s shoulder gripped hard. They were one in their grief.
