Does he know I'm literally shaking? That I'm afraid any moment my knees will give out, causing me to fall, gracelessly, un-Captainlike, to the deck of our ship?

Does he know the warmth in his eyes is anchoring me, holding me, comforting me?

Does he know, despite my pain, all I can feel is the insatiable desire to have his arms around me?

Does he know, the moment he leaves this room, I will probably burst into tears?

I can feel his breath on my shoulder as he whispers, "I know."

I inhale to answer, but he is already gone.
