Liana led him to his cot and placed her next to his. She covered him with a blanket knitted by one of the missionaries. She leaned down and kissed his forehead. Memories of his first days flooded her mind. He was muscular, tanned, and looked like he belonged. What secrets did he hide? Benny never discussed his past. She laid in the cot next to her husband and closed her eyes. She had not been in the hut for a long time. The place held so many memories and she dreamed of her life. The trading ships would come soon and the islanders would come alive with trinkets, trade goods, and sailors.<br/><br/>The next day was all a buzz of canoes and a blast of the conch. A British cargo ship was spotted.
