marry him.   He was very charming.   She crawled
into the large bed and drifted off to a peaceful sleep.
    Early the next morning, Mercy
awoke to the smell of Elese’s cooking.   She hurriedly got dressed and went to find the source of that wonderful
smell.   She sat at the table and waited
for Cain to join her.   Elese noticed that
she was waiting and told her Cain had left earlier to take care of some business.
    “Cain told me to apologize for
his absence but it could not be avoided.   He told me to take you into the village for some shopping.   If you don’t mind me saying so, you must be somebody
special to make Cain settle down,” Elese told her as she sat down at the table
beside her.
    “I think he’s pretty special,
especially after telling me about how he chose to live as a pirate.   Tell me, how did you meet him?”   Mercy asked.
    “Well, about ten years ago I was
aboard a ship sailing from Baffin Island when he raided the ship I was on.   I was frightened by him.   His crew took all of the supplies and they
found me cowering behind some cargo.   They took me to Cain and his eyes met mine.   He froze for a moment in time.   It seemed like he had seen a ghost or I reminded
him of someone.”  
    “His mother,” Mercy interrupted.
    “Yes.   He never attempted to harm me in any
way.   He asked me where I was going, and
when I told him that I had lost everything and getting a fresh start in life he
offered me a position here.   I owe Cain
my life.   If he hadn’t came along there
is no telling what I would be doing to survive.   He has been so good to me.”
    After Mercy finished her
breakfast, the two women walked to the village.   They chatted the entire way and Mercy learned more about her
pirate.   Elese told her that he had
enough money stashed away, that he could stop his raiding and life the rest of
his life without wanting for anything.   He wouldn’t rest though until he found the man responsible for killing
his parents.
    “Enough talk about pirates, tell
me something about you.   Is there
anything you remember from your childhood, your parents, anything at all before
you met Cain?”
    “I wish I could tell you
something.   Cain says I must have amnesia
after I hit my head during the storm.   I
couldn’t remember my name or who anybody was when I came to.   Cain told me everything he knew about me but
I still cannot remember anything on my own.”
    “That’s amazing.   I sure hope you get your memory back soon,”
Elese stated.
    “The only thing I can remember is
the dream I was telling you about.   Cain
is always in it.   I hope that when we do
get married again, it will trigger something in my mind.”
    “I hope so Mercy,” Elese said as
they entered the store and greeted the seamstress.
    Mercy tried on the dress that the
seamstress had started on last night since Cain was in such a rush to have a
wedding gown made.   She had stayed up to
the wee hours of the morning making it.   She only had to make a few alterations to make it fit Mercy
perfectly.   The gown was beautiful.   It was simple yet elegant.   It had a plunging neckline and straight
lines.   It came just below Mercy’s knees
and was ivory satin.   Mercy knew Cain
would be pleased when he saw her in it.  
    Mercy gave her final instructions
to the seamstress and she and Elese headed to the shoemaker for shoes.   Mercy picked out several shoes that she liked
and luckily the store had plenty in her size.   She was exhausted from a morning full of shopping so she and Elese
headed home with many bags.
    “Oh Cain, the wedding dress is so
beautiful.   I can’t wait for you to see
it,” Mercy exclaimed excitedly when she saw Cain.
    “I’m more interested in what will
be in it,” he teased.
    “When can we have the
wedding?”   Mercy inquired.
    “As soon as your dress is ready
and you are ready, My Love.”
    “The dress will be ready tomorrow
afternoon and I am more than ready to start our
