In a large town house on Berkeley Square, Georgina Malory joined her husband, James, for lunch after their twin sons, Gilbert and Adam, had dashed past her. At fourteen, the boys still hadn't outgrown their energetic antics, but Georgina's thoughts were on James and his upcoming voyage, which she hoped would not start before the end of the Season. With a raised brow, a habit she'd picked up from him, she quipped about his latest ship acquisition. James, briefly taken aback, revealed that his newest captain would be away for a few days to visit family before retiring. He grinned, explaining he was persuasive and had bought another ship for contingencies, in case he needed to leave without her brothers. Georgina teased him, noting his eagerness for any excuse to set sail without their company. They discussed the aftermath of a recent kidnapping attempt, and Georgina acknowledged James's insistence on not letting it go unresolved. She laughed at the thought of seven ships, to which James added Nathan Tremayne's potential contribution, prompting her to protest against dragging him away from his honeymoon. Their banter continued, touching on family dynamics and the challenges of marrying into their clan, with James reflecting on his past as a gentleman pirate. Ultimately, he planned to decline Nathan's offer, preferring not to disturb the delicate family balance.
