“How did you know that?” Leaning back in astonishment, she regarded me with a cautious curiosity, as if she didn’t quite trust me all the sudden.

“I found a record of your marriage, back in our time. That’s a whole different story about how I came across it, but I know you’re married to Tristan O’Rourke. Do you have any idea what kind of man he is? Stealing a ship and turning pirate! And you’ve trusted him with the truth!”

“You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about,” she replied coldly, standing and glaring at me.

“Do you care to enlighten me?” I shot back. “I mean, you’re pregnant with his child! You’ve changed the future, Sam. That baby could grow up and get married, have kids, start a whole different line that never existed before. What if one of those people turns out to be the next Hitler? You could have practically destroyed everything that we know!”

“Shut up!” It was the first time she’d raised her voice at me and I didn’t like it. I could tell she was getting worked up quickly, though, and bit back my retort.

“First, do you know if Tristan . . . is he still alive?” Fear flashed in her eyes, but she held her strong stance, her fingers forming tight fists at her side.

“Why wouldn’t he be?” I asked, caught off guard yet again.

“Your ship just came from England, didn’t it?” she asked through clenched teeth. “Tristan and a whole crew of men went to intercept it. They never returned.”

“If anyone ran into them, I didn’t know about it,” I replied honestly. “But, if he were dead, I would have heard about it. People have made more than a few threats against him over the months.”

She relaxed some at that, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. “I hope you’re right.” Her voice was soft, scared even, and I suddenly realized that her marriage wasn’t just some fling she’d joined to pass the time. She really loved the man, despite his character flaws.

“I broke into Oak Isle and climbed into the Treasure Pit.” The change in direction of the conversation was somewhat dizzying, but I stayed with her.

“I know. They caught you on camera—even if you’d gotten out, they would have had enough proof to lock you up.”

“It wasn’t about getting the treasure.” She sighed, sitting down again in a defeated sort of way. “I did it for Dad. He should have been the first one to see what was down there. I wanted to steal from McCreary what was taken from my father.”

“You made it down there before it flooded.” I’d long accepted that fact, since the vase that had surfaced in her place had basically confirmed the notion.

Nodding, she looked at me seriously. “I’ve been down there now, too. I helped build the Treasure Pit.”

Unable to respond, I stared at her with what I was sure were eyes so wide I looked like an owl.

“The first time—our time—I found a vase at the bottom and opened it.
