Chapter Eighteen

Juliana wrinkled her nose. Morgan gave a whole new meaning to the phrase “‘stinking drunk”. He reeked of alcohol, tobacco and sweat.

“You’re drunk.”

He shrugged. With the calculated movements of a man soused, he picked up his tankard of ale and took a long swallow, his gaze never leaving hers.

She looked at him closely, trying to find some hint of the boy she’d loved in the man before her. How many nights had she prayed to God for one more day with Zach, one more hour? Even while with Daniel she prayed Zach would return to her.

Instead, she found him.

His brown eyes were weak with drink but the pirate inside him stared back at her defiantly. There was no getting any answers out of him tonight. She pushed away from the table. It wobbled and Zach—Morgan—grabbed onto it to steady it.

She ran a hand through her hair in frustration. This was not the way she envisioned her reunion with Zach. She wanted to vent her anger, to scream her frustration, to question him relentlessly.

Morgan swayed in his chair, his beer clenched in one fist, his other hand caressing the cutlass at his side as his eyes roved the room behind her. She knew that look from the Adam. He was searching for trouble and if the present clientele was any indication, he would get it soon.

She turned to Reed and Isabelle and discovered Patrick had materialized from somewhere. “We need to get him out of here.”

Reed and Patrick moved to each side of Morgan, took an arm and foisted him up. The tankard of beer tilted, then fell, spilling its sticky, yellow contents all over the table, the floor and Morgan.

They reached the outside of The Scabbard without incident. The sweet smell of relatively fresh air hit them full in the face. Each of them drew in a deep breath, including Morgan.

That place gave her the creeps. The sailors on the Adam had been unkept and dirty, but they never made her fear for her safety the way the men in the bar did.

Morgan shook Patrick and Reed off, throwing them a dangerous scowl before falling in an ungracious heap on the cobblestone ground.
