6) More Woman Than Ghost
Shane awoke the next morning with the sun hitting his face and feeling more rested than he had a very long time. As he went to stretch, he felt a body next to him and froze. Slowly, he looked rolled and looked over, and saw Kiera. He smiled as the events of yesterday and the last few weeks all came back to him. His smile widened as he looked down and saw that his bandage had been changed again. Careful not to wake her. he crawled out and slipped his pants back and ventured out to find where she got her water source from. He laughed as he found himself hoping it wasn't too far from her and realized he hadn't felt more content in all his life and it was all because he went looking for a ghost and found her in the middle of a hurricane. After about forty minutes of walking, he found the stream and shook his head and wondered how he hadnt come across it before. He knelt down to the stream and cupped his hands and took a drink. As he stood to walk back, he heard a commotion in the jungle

After all was silent on both ships, Shane swung over to her deck and joined her at the wheel."Want a break?""For a few minutes."As he took the wheel, she leaned up against the railing facing him."You take exceptional care of your ship. One might think it is your home.""After Kevin died, it was more of my home than London was to me.""You live in London?""I did. I haven't been back in almost four years.""You've lived on this ship for four years?""Of course not. Kevin had an island base he'd go to when he was pirating. That way no one, including his enemies, could track him to London and possibly get to me. The island is where I call home now.""I bet it's beautiful.""Why do you say that?""It would have to be for a man to stay away from you.""Well, you can tell me if it is when we get there.""What?""I set a course for home.

It was three floors with porches wrapped on each one. Solid white with swings in the front and a few dogs laying near the door. She walked up and they barked and wagged when they saw her.

Kiera showed up in London two weeks later. She rode in the carriage with Marvin straight to the estate. There were tons of people there and they all stared in shock when she walked through. Marvin looked especially mean today and she was glad. She looked at them all and turned to him."Marvin, it appears we have unwanted guests in the house. Remove them.""You can't do that.""Actually I can. After his parents died, I became Gregory's guardian. Surprise, I'm not dead. This estate will remain his. Marvin.""Yes, milady."Marvin straightened up and walked to the crowd and afraid of what he'd do, they all cleared out but threatened to return. Once they were all out, she knocked on the study door.
