’ ‘You sure, Charly? Mister Meeren never takes vacations.’ ‘There’s a first time for everything.’ ‘You don’t think he’s, maybe, l...ost at sea or something like that?’ She smiled as she looked from him to the deep red cloth he was clutching at his chest. She knew he was aware that she was staring at it because his long fingers wrapped tighter around it. ‘Is that that blue stone you got there, Gems?’ Gems sniffed and fidgeted a little. ‘Maybe.
