[She smiled, brittle and thin.] Officially? Like, was wearing me wedding dress and was at the church? Only the once; the Admiralty felt I'd make a better agent for them were I not blissfully wedded. How many times have me and Jaimy planned to do it the next moment we could and been thwarted by fate or misunderstanding? Twelve, if you count the daydreams of two ship's boys.

This time was me own damn fault; the day before we were to get married, I decided to take a quick spin out on the Cape in the Morning Star cuz th' weather were so good and. I found meself here. In the future. Without even me ring cuz I finally took the damn thing out me ear so's Jaimy could get it soldered back together.

[Reaching up to her bunk, she gently took down the locket with her paintings of Jaimy and Ravi from the post by her pillows.] All I've got is the miniature I painted back when we were young, and my own memories to keep me warm.
