Elissa sat there for a moment before slowly getting up. She joined him at the window. “Convince Rhea to let me stay and once we have your ship back, we can find out what happened to you and your father. He never came back to Kent. Someone, however, must know what happened. We will find them and we will find out the truth. You deserve to know the truth of your past and once we know who is responsible we will avenge your father and your memory.” She said, resting her hand on his shoulder. “You are still my best friend and I will still do whatever I can to help you. I’m not leaving you, not now. If Rhea can’t be convinced to let me stay she’s going to have to drag me off this ship herself and I won’t go without a fight. Not when you need me.” Elissa followed his gaze out to the ocean. “I promise I won’t leave you. I’ll help however I can.”
She hoped he understood how much she wanted to help him. “I’m sorry if I said anything to upset you. That wasn’t my goal. I was just telling you what I knew, what I’d been told or heard.” She sighed feeling like the apology sounded empty even though she’d meant every word. “Perhaps fate brought us back together not to save me, but to restore what you’ve lost.”
