Characters: Diana (Jack, Stephen)
Rum: This doesn't really fit the challenge so I don't know if it counts, but if it does, Diana gets to drink.
Comments: Not that this ever would have happened but if it did, it would be set during Post Captain.
It is wicked even to think of it, yet Diana knows it would be simple to bring about. She must only invite them both, requesting that Aubrey come to the front door while telling Maturin to visit her privately. Stephen certainly suspects Jack already, and how could Jack be shocked to learn that she had another caller?
She has already taunted Maturin that he is all but married to the man, while Aubrey has been in the Navy all his life. A trio, she might suggest, running her fingers over their hands, a harmonious concerto, with herself as the instrument.
