It took a full night and a day to load the cargo of cotton aboard the steamship that they had renamed the Rattlesnake. Nicholas sent his field hands straight back to Paradise under supervision of Brute, whom he could always count on to keep law and order.

Nicholas and Rafe slept aboard, then Collins would leave on the morning tide and try to set a time record for the voyage to Liverpool and back. The two men were physically exhausted and sleep overtook them as soon as their heads hit their bunks.

No so with Amanda. She lay awake for hours the next two nights going through a range of emotions that kept sleep at bay. She was piqued that she and Nicholas had parted with angry words. Then she was annoyed with herself for all the clever retorts she had not thrown at him. She fanned her annoyance into full-blown anger at Nicholas for following her and chastising her as if he were her father. Then she felt sorry for herself for losing her mother, and a tear slipped down her cheek. She licked it away and sniffed loudly. Slowly, the guilt crept upon her for letting her husband go off to Charleston without a kind word or look.
