I stand at the rail with Nadine standing next to me silently, We're almost arrived in England after days of travelling. Poor Nadine has been worried sick about what is going to happen to her after we arrive. But Teddy and I already know we discussed it in each other's arms in the dark confines of our room. "Darling," I turn to her and her soft face reminds me of Mashka's, Tears come to my mind as I try to push the memory away, I can never forget them they will forever live in my heart but I can't cry. Not Now. "Yes Miss Burgess?" She looks at me and I realize that as she has been looking out over the ocean her tears have been spilling over. I take my hanker chief and wipe away her tears gently just as Mama did for all of us when we were little, "I need to speak with you," I lead her too a small bench and we both sit as she gazes out over the ocean, "My Father loved the ocean, He was so happy to be going home," We both gaze out over the ocean as My memories float back to our wonderful days In the Finnish Gulf. We 4 All sit in the boat with Aunt Olga in the middle as Nastya Rocks it "Nastya Stop It!" Aunt Olga Shrieks with laughter while Nastya keeps rocking it harder, She knows Aunt Olga will let her get away with almost anything. I hear Mashka scream as she goes overboard, "Mashka!" Me and Tatya scramble over to the side as Nastya laughs hysterically "Its because you are my fat little bow wow," Nastya laughs as I see Maria go red in the water, But then she laughs her easy laugh as Aunt Olga helps her back onto the boat soaking wet. "My father loved sailing too," I say absently as I come back to reality and I turn to her, "Nadine, I want you to stay with us." I take her hands and she looks at me dumbstruck and my heart sinks, What cause would she have to go with us anyways? "Yes," She says quickly and I look back at her, She's barely known us but somehow she can find it in our heart to trust us. "I don't have anyone else," She turns and rests her chin on the rail letting the saltwater wind whip on her face. I know how she feels as an orphan, To have no one anymore. I stand up and walk back over to Teddy as he takes me into his arms, "Are you ready my love?" He kisses the top of my head as I look at the English coastline, I don't know how I'll ever be able to look at that scum in the face, Maybe we can go to America. "I hate him, I know it's bad but I do," I snuggles my head into his chest as the ship rolls into the port.
