Chapter six! How time flies when you're having fun.
Horatio was dumbfounded.
"Your brother?"
"Oui, mon frere." she smiled at the older man who seemed just as happy to she her alive and well.
"How did you come to be on an English ship, my sister?"
"Lieutenant Hornblower saved me. That awful Marquis came back. But, Monsieur Hornblower protected me. He saved my life too when I was shot. He still takes care of me now." she said smiling softly.
Horatio, on the other hand was turning bright red. He had been befriending the French captain. And now he finds out that he is sharing quarters with this captains sister, the woman he loved. Loved. Such an odd term to say to oneself. Ugh. He wished he had a paper bag to hide his face in.
But Remy didn't seem to notice.
"Thank you for rescuing my sister, monsieur, I cannot thank you enough."
Horatio began to stutter.
"I-It r-r-eally wasn't much." he said eventually swallowing the stuttering down. All this while, Captain Pellew was watching in amusement. He had now confirmed his suspicions that Mr. Hornblower did have feelings for this young woman. He was glad that he had put them in quarters together. Damn it! Horatio needed a girlfriend.
We all know THAT captain. But so many fangirls wish it was them. I'm really sorry all of you. But if you don't review, I can't find a way t o include you. So that gives you incentive. The first person to review will get a mention in the story. That is a promise!
