Author: celandineb
Fandom: Jane Austen, Persuasion
Pairing: Anne/Frederick

Summary: Anne makes her first voyage.
Note: For ancarett who wanted Frederick Wentworth and Anne, "sunset."


Anne was not seasick after the first day or two, and made no complaints about the food, even when, towards the end of the voyage to the West Indies, the remaining biscuit proved to be worm-infested.

Frederick delighted in showing her his favorite places and buying her curios, although she protested against accumulating things that would take up space in their small cabin.

She only once ever showed any unhappiness. As the swift dusk settled in around them, the wind bearing the scent of tropical flowers, she said, "Lovely though this is, I do sometimes miss our slow English sunsets."
