At sunrise you and Josh Helston shook the night's pilchards from netting into the lugger's hold. Cornwall has given you every advantage, Will, yet you still look too soft to admit it. You step into this one-chapter preview with Josh Helston at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. You plunged beside the bubbles before the trapped man could be seen. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
