"I beg your pardon. What kind of woman do you think I am?" I said as my eyebrows met.
Jacob chuckled, "A very beautiful woman who does not listen well to her husband."
"We got ALL their things, Captain," Puma said as he walked in with Fifer and Brenlyn.
"Time to go," Lowen said and eyed his family.
Carole whispered in Ferdie's ear and the ten year old nodded. He looked at Lowen. Lowen smiled, "Come here, young man. This embrace is long overdue," he said and opened his arms.
Ferdie sighed in relief and ran into his arms. They embraced. Carole stood up. Fifer and Brenlyn took Janus to free Carole's hand. Carole walked to the father and son and joined in their embrace. "Finally," I heard her say.
Jacob put his arm around my shoulders and pulled me to him, "Shall we go?"
I looked at him and gave him a peck on his cheek, "We shall."
