The bass you and Joe caught at dawn returned to the table crisp from Dolly's pan. Hold your plate, Gwyn; sea air may sharpen appetite, but manners still survive the tide. You step into this one-chapter preview with Joe Jollivet at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The sealed mine kept its depth while breakfast ended with inquiry, not entry, as the next step. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
