Miss Lavigne's Little White Lie
“Even though Patch sounded sincere, he grinned like a lad presented with a new toy.Daniel assumed a severe frown as he handed his former first mate the logbook. “I expect you to bring her back in one piece, Captain Emerson.”“Yes, sir.” Patch accepted the book and Daniel’s congratulatory handshake. “You won’t be disappointed.”The man had proven his competency many times over the years. It was a wise decision to turn the Cecily and her crew over to Patch.Daniel would still need to travel to New Or...leans at some point to complete the guardianship proceedings, but not now.

She had become a part of him that gave him purpose and lent meaning to his existence.MoreLess
