Corsairs And Exhaustion

 Agreeing, Skye nodded in the positive. She thought it was a strange gift at the time, but if her mother's first husband was her true father, then it made sense. She found it both sweet and sad that her mother had secretly put a momento from her father on her for her wedding. It was like a tiny piece of him was with her as she walked down the aisle.
