WALKIE-TALKIE. BATTLE PLAN. BUTTERSCOTCH candy.
Emily Windsor sied through the mess in her cavernous purse. Her
hand dug until she found a well-worn, faded picture. e cheeky grin of her
late husband stared back as he stood resplendent in his dress whites and
ashy aviator sunglasses.
How she missed that smile.
“Good morning, love.” She smoothed a creased corner on the photo.
“Time to launch a new mission. I can imagine the scolding you’d give me.
But this match is worth the meddling, Bill. Even you’d agree that sweet girl is
worth it.
“Lord”—she pointed her eyes heavenward—“I hope you’re taking good
care of my man up there.”
Emily riffled in a side pocket. She grabbed a small set of opera glasses
with the words Golden Years Tour Company printed on the side. If her
calculations were correct, the target should appear at any moment. She
peeked around the corner. Her seventy-eight-year-old spine cracked twice as
she bent.
“Mrs. Windsor?”
Her jaw tightened at the squeaky voice. She faced the rst mate, Peter.
His frowsy white-blond hair and pasty complexion combined with his
pristine uniform to give him the appearance of a skinny, befuddled ear swab.
Was he going to offer her another lecture on the proper behavior for cruise
ship passengers? It would make the second one this week.
His gaze bounced to the binoculars and back again. “Did you lose
something?”
“No, dear.” She stuffed the equipment in her bag and slid the straps over
her wrist. “Just preparing for the voyage.”
ree bells sounded on the loudspeaker, followed by an announcement.
Peter pointed at the ceiling. “It’s time for muster. Shouldn’t you head for
your deck?”
“Pish-tosh. e ship won’t fall apart if I miss one safety drill.”
She tapped an orthopedic sandal against the carpet. His patient
expression brought to mind the nurses in the assisted living facility she’d
briey called home when she’d experienced a slight problem with her heart.
He raised his voice and spoke in a slow, measured tone as if she was hard of
hearing.
“I. Know. You’ve. Done it. Many. Times. But every. Passenger. Has. To be
there.”
“I. Un. Der. Stand.” Emily pasted on her best doting-Nana impression.
She patted his elbow. “Now don’t waste your time on me. You have a cruise
to launch.” One more pat, and she headed for the elevators at the end of the
hallway.
Peter called a goodbye at her retreating back and walked in the opposite
direction. She waited until he was out of sight, then returned to her post.
Nothing and no one would delay her mission of arranging a love match for
Lacey Anderson.
