I approached the door. My heart began to pound at the thought that it might be the captain. How likely it was the captain himself would visit us in our room?
"Yes?" I asked, and listening to my voice, I realized that it trembled a little bit.
"Yes, miss? Can you open the door for me, please?" this voice was familiar to me, and I immediately remembered from where. He was one of the men who talk on the deck not long an hour ago, and I eavesdropped on them. If I understood the voice correctly, he was the one who told them to shut their mouth up and continue their work.
Could it have come for that? Was it possible that they had seen me?
In this thought, my heart lost a beat, and then it started beating hard. I hadn't said anything to Brielle, and now it was too late to let her know.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Brielle signal to me with her hand. I turned and looked at her, and she showed me the cap.
