"We argued almost every day."
Scott chuckled.
"I already like him."
Nathan laughed.
"So did James."
"We disagreed about nearly everything..."

Storm swallowed.
"I know."
"No..."
Nathan looked at her with gentle sadness.
"I don't think you do."
Silence drifted between the two vessels.

Nathan reached into his jacket.
Every SEAL instantly tensed.

He removed...

Old.
Weathered.
Storm's breath caught.

Nathan held it high enough for everyone aboard Sea Whisper to see.
"This belonged to James."
Storm shook her head.
