She haunts his memory, floating like a broken doll amidst the flames
and wreckage of the pirate attack. The water carrying away the parasol
she was so proud of is red with her own blood. He had dived into the
sea to save her, knowing she could not swim—not knowing it was already
too late. That dive had saved his life.
Now another beautiful young girl stands before him twirling her
parasol. Her brown eyes sparkle. "Please, Will. Teach me to shoot,"
Elizabeth coaxes.
Slowly he hands her the rifle. He knows that girls, treated like
dolls, break like them.
