Salt spray mists the deck as the ship cuts through the darkening harbor. You cling to the rigging, heart hammering against your ribs, pursued by the governor’s guards. The vessel groans, pulling away from the safety of land. Footsteps echo on the wood—steady, unhurried. A figure emerges from the shadows, strawberry-blond hair catching the lantern light, freckles stark against his skin. He looks down, deep brown eyes wide with curiosity rather than malice. “Why are you hiding on my ship, love?” he asks, his voice soft, an accent curling around the words like sea fog.
