Stormy Arrival

Anwyn strained her ears to hear what Doctor Bernice said to Father.

Ages and ages bedridden from her broken ribs and ankle; she couldn't stand staying in bed any longer. Not one more minute.

She didn't care if there was a storm, she wanted to go out to the docks. See the ships.

But she'd only get to if Doctor Bernice would give her crutches at long last.
