The Phoenix Bluff Bed and Breakfast, Port aux Basques (aka Sal's Place)

[teh-rest.livejournal.com]

Leeroy was sleeping soundly for what might be the first time since arriving on the island.

It was entirely possible that the prospect of six weeks' worth of no work as Sal re-assumed captain's role upon the Lukey (which meant that the trawler was undergoing a fresh round of repairs and a complete refitting, most of which would be done by Sal herself) was relieving much of the stress that he had been feeling lately.

Or maybe it was due to what happened the afternoon immediately following Jeimu's launch - when what he had come to know (although perhaps not as intimately as some of his friend) as the very presence of God had touched his brothers, instilling in them a sense of forgiveness.

All things told, he had lately felt a lot less responsible for everyone's well being. Or, rather, almost everyone.

He still wasn't entirely sure where things stood between he and Sam - she had her line of work and he was constantly worried about her - but, nonetheless, the two of them were spending an awful lot of their free time together.

She'd said she was leaving Port aux Basques early in the morning; and so it was his intent to wake up to see her off.

But for now, he slept.

The door opened and Sam walked back in, then remembered that she hadn't eaten yet and went to get a crepe for herself, quirking an eyebrow when Vic handed her a plate of them topped with whipped cream from the can and choclolate sprinkles. "Thanks?"

"Whatever." He continued cooking.

"And if you missed the upcoming wedding, you'd be mad at me."

She grinned and went back to the kitchen.

"Wedding??" He scrambled to his feet and stared at Sal.

"Don't look at me." Sal nodded across the table to Leeroy.

Jav stode over and stared down at his brother with crossed arms. "What's this all about, b'y? Y' finally got enough guts t' pop the question?"

"Nah," Leeroy said with a crooked grin. "Sam beat me to it."

"Y'let Sam propose?" Jav shook his head, but grinned broadly nontheless. "Hey, Vic, we gotta haze 'im, quick."

"Here, Mu, make pancakes." The big man wiped his hands on his jeans and turned toward the table with a grin.

"Hey." Sam frowned and set her plate down, eyes narrowing.

Jeimu rolled her eyes and took over pancake duty before looking over at Sam.

"And we both got into this family why?"
