It is the first time we have been alone together since he was released from the brig. He comes up to me and takes my hand and holds it to his lips. "I don't care about my first command. All I care about is you. Why did you not send Jared or Harkness back with the prize? I want to..." "I know what you want to do, Robin, but we can't do that now. I am the Commander of this ship, however crazy that sounds, and you are my First Mate. We have to keep it that way, at least for a while, till this is all resolved. I do have great affection for you and I do love you, in my way, but ... I'm confused ... and I do intend to live single all of my life, as I am convinced that would be best, considering the mess I usually make of things." "That's nonsense, Jacky, and you know it." He puts his arm around my waist and draws me to him, but I push him back. "Please, Robin. We must deal with the problem at hand. Your orders are to sail the prize back to England and register it with the Prize Court. See if there are any problems.
