Adeliese is a sailor. Or rather, her father is, but considering her entire life since the age of four has been spent aboard his sailboat, she probably qualifies for the title. When thirteen years of travel are abruptly cut short by an unexpected destination, Adeliese's dreams are left to rest at a standstill while her father's untold story is brought to life.
"How can you stand moving around so often? Don't you miss anyone?" he asks me.
I shrug. "I've never known anyone long enough to miss them, I guess. How can you manage to stay in the same place for so long?"

"Nope, your coming out to dinner away from this dump with your brothers and father", He said whilst looking around in discust. I rolled my eyes at him which he looked pretty shocked at. "Look Stone, Im not that 6 year old you can just boss around and fuck over anymore, I can take care of myself, Ive been doing that for my whole life so far, so why not the rest, so either order something or get the fuck out", I said to him getting faster and faster as I spoke.
