"I love my father, but I get tired of his overprotective ways. He leaves me no choice by being very secretive about Eve's past. 

He thinks very low of her and doesn’t want  me to have anything to do with her. 

That is the problem.

There’s nothing I love more. Okay, there is another.

I am one of the few surgeons around , well versed in traditional and herbal cures. I am valuable to the survival of the group and any survivors. I don't know weapons or how to fight.

All I know is treatments and bandages.

I have spent my life protecting my best friend and will do so until I die.

I can handle anything.

Excepting annoying pirates.

Anything except that.

Oh, and I carry another secret  fear.  A secret that’s so unmanning, I dare not breathe a word of it to anyone least they laugh."
