Title: Devotion Rating: G Length: 198 Competitor: Owen Summary: Owen sits on a rock for a long time. A pointy rock.
:::
Owen stared into the harbor, waiting for the ships to come in. He had ridden to Port Caynn that morning, for Kel’s ship was due today. Owen waited with receding patience, each moment stealing a piece of his endurance. Every time a ship appeared on the horizon his heart would speed up and he would jump to his feet. But Owen was getting tired of sitting on a pointy rock. His eyelids were drooping just like the sun in the sky until he was sound asleep.
A hand shook Owen awake fairly suddenly, and he turned around to see Kel beaming at him in the morning sun. “Owen, I’m so glad to see you!” she cried, enveloping him in a hug.
“When did your ship get in?” he asked her.
“About an hour ago. We were delayed a day. How long have you been here?”
“Since yesterday.”
Kel looked slightly horrified. “Did you spend the night here?” When Owen nodded, Kel threw her arms around him and said, “I’m so sorry!”
Owen smiled up at Kel. “It’s okay,” he told her. And being here, in her arms, even after spending the night on a pointy rock, it was.
