Much as he hates to admit it, maybe Neal was right. Maybe he is entirely too stodgy and British. Maybe playing hooky today was a good idea. Things have been... messy, to use Neal's words, lately. It's good to get out of the office for a day, and just breathing in the salt air from the bow of his ship feels fantastic.
He feels more relaxed than he has in a long time. He skims his hands over the wheel, inhaling deeply and imagining himself out on the open sea, properly. And maybe he will be, someday. Maybe he will.
