Sarah took a deep breath as the scent of land filled her mind. England smelled very different than Algiers. She could almost remember the green fields. Almost but not quite. She shivered with anticipation.

"Sarah, we'll be going ashore soon. Are you ready to meet your future husband tonight?" Cyril Holycross leaned near the young woman, his breath hot on her neck and cheek. "Perhaps Sedgwick St. James will be there to greet you."

"He won't want a blind bride, Father," said Sarah, shifting her feet a bit to get away from the fetid smell. He wasn't truly her father. She knew he didn't even love her. Until the death of her mother she had barely known him. Sarah had lived a separate life in the grand villa with her adoptive mother, Solange visiting with friends and other French residents of Algiers. Cyril Holycross kept to his business and to his adventures.

"Do you miss Mother?" Sarah asked him. Her blind eyes turned toward his face as if somehow she could read a message of truth. She could only see shadowy darkness. "I miss her terribly."

"Yes, of course, Sarah, she was my wife and my companion. I will never forgive myself for allowing the two of you to go to the Market that day without armed guards. I was such a fool. I could have lost you as well. And now I will be alone." Cyril's voice broke convincingly. The ship, The Belted Will, quivered like a leaf in the wind.

Liar. Liar, Sarah screamed at him from within her mind.

"Then why are you sending me to the American West, to marry a man thirty years older than I am? Why? You could keep me with you." Sarah's temper flared. "If you cared."
