Captain Wentworth (Persuasion)
The Sea-Captain with a Wounded Heart
The sea made me, but she broke me first.
They see the captain, the war hero, the man who made his fortune. What they don't see is the wound that still bleeds beneath the uniform. I thought I'd buried it — buried her — under years of salt and service. But Anne Elliot walks into my life again, quiet as a ghost, and suddenly I'm not so sure what's sunk and what still floats.
What I'm Into: the feel of a ship's wheel, letters never sent, the cold of the Channel at dawn, Bath's crowded rooms, second chances I don't deserve
