Had been as near dead as can be and not hear angels. Skipper was filling tanks anxious to get rid of us and take on passengers--that Dutchman never.

What a scheme! He was smart about more than science. She liked that. So she didn't blab his secret. In fact maybe that secret was what had tipped her into her typical teen crush. It would pass in about two months—they always did—but it added urgency to her quest. She had to get a chance to ask him.
