― Naomi Novik, Fast Ships, Black Sails

“Come back to me safe, Kate," Grace said, whispering, because her throat had closed and her own tears were falling. She had so much to tell Kate, so much more advice to give, but there wasn't time, because the tide was turning and David was no doubt waiting at the pier. But she had time for one last piece of advice. One last, desperate plea. "And for God's sake, don't fall in love with your captain.”
― Carrie Vaughn, Fast Ships, Black Sails
