Sarah had just finished locking up the benbow inn; her eye caught Jim skimming rocks, facing the port.

"Jim?" she went over to him and put a hand on his shoulder, he turned and smiled at her.

"Mom," he said "Thanks for doing this, I mean you don't have to, I could go by myself." He tried to back himself up, trying to resort to a more teenage side, but was failing miserably; he was just too excited to think about it. He hung his head smiling and annoyed at the same time. Sarah smiled and gathered him into a hug. "Mom." he called from her chest, she looked down at him.

"Yes Jim?"

"1- I think I'm a bit to old for your hugs mom," She smiled and ruffled his hair,

"James Hawkins, you may be a 15 year old teenager, but that doesn't mean you'll never stop being my little boy." Jim shrugged, he couldn't be bothered with arguing with her, and then another thought came to his mind.

"Also, mum, this is where…Dad, left." He stuttered still holding onto his mother. Sarah looked out onto the horizon at the scene before her. Jim was right, her husband; Jim's father, Leland Hawkins left from this place almost 7 years ago, Jim rarely thought of him. She held Jim closer as Jim tried hard to relinquish those memories. After moments of solitude Sarah thought of something.

"Jim? Do you think of Silver as a somewhat father figure." She asked processing her thoughts on what Jim's answer would be.

"Mom, you'll always be able to read me like a book, Huh?" He said sadly, Sarah looked in shock, but smiled still. She would have preferred Silver to Leland any day, and it was never too late to bring a father back into Jim's life again, was it? Sarah let him go.

"Jim," she paused and he looked down, afraid of what she might say. "You know that it's not to late right, if we hurry we can still catch the next ship from Montressor space port." Jim looked up and smiled

"Thanks mom, but like you said, we gotta hurry!" he alerted and headed of down the path. Sarah smile as Jim pulled her away from the benbow inn. She was going on an adventure of her own.
