Almost all of London would be invited, as well as military personal and Garret’s old crew and friends at the island. He knew that alone would take time to reach them. Kiera and Garret hardly ever saw each other. With he and his family and he with his father trying to set the affairs straight. His father thought it a clever idea to use ship log books to help organize everything. Jared was over often, having decided to propose to Olivia. He came to Kiera one afternoon to ask her what she thought.
“Hey, can I talk to you for a moment.”
“Of course. What is it?”
“I’m going to propose to Olivia.”
“Oh, my goodness, that’s wonderful.”
“I’m nervous. I’ve asked her father and he was overjoyed. What do you think Garret will think?”
“I’ll think he’ll be happy knowing his sister is with someone as wonderful as you.”
“Thanks, but I’m not sure that will be his exact thought.”
“He will be happy. How could he not?”
“I’m just asking.”
She hugged him and wished him luck and told him to do it in the park on the lake. Being on the lake was one of Olivia’s favorite things to do. He told her it would be ok to tell Garret.
The next afternoon, Jared asked Olivia if she wanted to go for a walk in the park. Garret piped in, but Kiera stopped him.
“That sounds like a lovely idea. I think it will do all of us good to go for a walk.”
“Actually, dear, I was wondering if I could talk to you.”
“Of course. I’ll send someone with you guys.”
“They are only going to the park, I think it’ll be fine. Jared is an honorable man.”
“I never doubted that, but…”
“Let them go. Let’s go talk.
After Jared gave Kiera a reassuring smile, they left. Garret and Kiera walked into the study and Garret questioned her.
“Alright, what do you know?”
“Jared asked your father for Olivia’s hand. He is proposing today.”
“That’s wonderful. I was wondering when he would work up the nerve.”
“I told him as much.”
“What do you mean?”
“He asked me yesterday what you think.”
“Ah.”
Just then, the butler walked in and informed her that her father was there. She went to the parlor with him while Garret did some work. He congratulated her on her happiness. He also informed her that he was retiring and planning to live in the townhouse a few blocks over. He would be sending Penny to her, knowing how close they are. As they were talking, Olivia shouted for her. Kiera came out with her father. Jared proposed to Olivia and his father couldn’t be prouder. His father told him his news and something else. He had put Jared’s name in as a candidate to be promoted to General. Jared was speechless and was honored that he father thought so highly of him. Olivia was excited for him and everyone could see Jared was filled with pride.

Garret had returned home after finding she had left with Jared and returned to the fort to stay with her father. He walked into his study and sat down when something caught his eye; the necklace. The months that followed, he was another person. He had become bitter and downright mean. He sacked ships for sport, took prisoners, and was always deep in his cups. He wanted to distract himself from any thoughts of Kiera. Most nights, he slept in his study; not wanting to be in the room where she slept. No one knew him anymore and even Andy was hard pressed being near him. Six months had gone by and he was brought a letter from Dominic. His first thought was to rip it up and burn it. Instead, he opened it and read it. Garret,I granted her the divor

He heard Garret come through the door and rushed to meet him and Choi.“Jerry, by god, what is it?”“I don’t know what happened, captain. But you should know that she is pregnant.”“Jerry, what are you talking about?”Garret pushed passed him and stared in shock as he stared at the blood.
