“I’ve no desire to pick fights with pirates, regardless of their respective reputations.” Yes, she’s entertained. Confidence in your own power is a special kind of thing - something that Caroline is familiar with, and something that she thinks she recognises in this stranger. “And, far as I know, I’ve no quarrel with you, Captain Roberts. Certainly nothing comes to mind that should warrant my wanting your death. Would you care to enlighten me, if I’m mistaken?”

"And yet, it can all wait." Hands on his shoulders as she stands behind him, she leans down to press a soft kiss to the top of his head. "You need to rest, my love."

"Yeah, well." Midge shrugs a shoulder, not quite smiling despite the lightness of her tone. "Is that your way of telling me to stop? Because I think we're a little past that."

@bravemarks said:    “Did you have a good time?” apart together  • not accepting.

"I did," She smiles, pressing a kiss to his cheek. "But I missed you. Did you manage to keep yourself out of trouble while I was gone?"

"I should hope so!" Cara laughs brightly. "The two of you are hardly subtle, you know." Ah, hypocrisy; her and Theo aren't exactly lowkey when it comes to their feelings for one another, are they?

"Was her love for you in doubt? Did I miss something?"

@bravemarks said:    “I give you my heart.” apart together  • not accepting.

"And I give you mine." She smiles, leaning up to kiss him. "Although, I think perhaps it was yours long before I realised it."

“I will never let him go.” It isn’t ice in her voice, but steel. “You say I am not capable of love, but it is simply that I love and have loved him so completely that there is no room in my heart for another. It does not matter if it has been five years, or fifty; I will never forget his face. I will never forget our love, or the life we wanted to build together.” 

“My fiancé may have chosen me to be his bride, but make no mistake: I am neither so fickle with my heart as to have given up on my love in exchange for another, nor so conniving as to seek out royalty and power at the expense of a happy life. I have asked for none of this. All I asked for was him, and since the world has denied me that it is all I can do to hold on to the memory of the time we had together.”
