A Heart Both Troubled and Relieved
The ferry was packed tight,
With tired folks hoping to make it back to BG tonight.
Quite a hair-raising day, it had been.
The Liberty Belle being taken, then taken back again.
Now she sat stranded in the marsh, run aground.
Denver said it'd take some time until she was sound,
Lots of repairs needed to be done alright.
The ferry had been a welcomed sight.

Josie was tired and looked quite the fright.
She could smell herself alright.
Her dress a dirty mess.
It would never come clean of the dirt and grime,
But looking at Jhonny, she'd gotten off easy this time.
His kin had cleaned him up a bit,
But he still smelled like...
A word not proper for a lady to say.
He had since slept most of the day away.
Josie was worried about him,
With bruises and cuts allover his skin.
After the explosions,
She'd searched out Jhonny
Frantically,
Was a bit relieved to see him with Shadow and Annie.
Josie was quite ashamed of the way she'd treated him.
Maybe they could start over and be proper friends?
She sat on the deck.
On the ferry near where Jhonny slumbered on a cot,
Her mind full of troubled thoughts.
She missed Jake, Brandy too.
She even longed to get a hug from Rue.
Quite a day it'd been,
She wanted a bath and a bowl of hot rabbit stew.
The hotel made it best.
Annie encouraged her to get some rest.
As the sun sank low in the sky and night was nigh.
But that was hard to do,
On the crowded ferry, with barely any room.
And her worries refused to let her sleep, they were not good company to keep.
