The Captain Let Me Sink

Summary

My boyfriend was the captain conquering the open seas, and my best friend was his indispensable logistical officer. Back at the harbor, everyone called them the Gemini of the Pacific.

Meanwhile, I was the one left on the shore, a ghost anchor tied to the land, waiting.

I used to beg Baron to tell me about his voyages. I just wanted a piece of his world, to know he was safe under those massive, foreign skies. But Baron would always look at me with that cool, detached expression.

"It’s just water, Maeve. Endless, boring water. There’s nothing to tell."
