Privateers 02.03: No Goodbyes

“That’s not really an answer, sweetheart.”

Another long silence. Sarah spoke first.

“I love you.”

“I love you, too.”

“Everything’s going to be okay, you got that?”

I nodded. She smiled.

“You’re the best damn captain in the fleet, Michael. I believe in you.” Her mouth looked happy, but her eyes seemed sad. She looked off-screen, where someone was apparently signaling to her. She held up one finger, then nodded. “I’ve got to run, hon. Same time next week?”

“You know it. Take care of yourself.”

“That’s my line!” She smirked. Her eyes glistened. “You too, then. Until next time.”

She waved, and I waved back as the screen went blank.
