Helen Snippet

This week, we have a Helen snippet from Goddess of the Sea (Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons: Book 2)—for the #lesficfri theme: “question.” 💙

Inside the surgeon's cabin, Emilia found a certain large, muscular woman sprawled across her surgery table.

Helen covered her eyes with two unwashed hands. "I'm ready," she said with a dramatic sigh. "Cut me open."

Emilia had no idea why Helen was covering her eyes, but she'd stopped asking questions by this point. "I don't cut people open for cramps, Helen."

Helen dropped her hands and sat up, her long, red braid swinging over her shoulder. "But you said there was a cure!"

Emilia knelt to retrieve a small, glass bottle from one of her wooden chests. "I said I'd make you a tincture." She straightened and held out the bottle, but Helen leaned away, as if it were some kind of explosive.

Not that she would've ever backed away from one of those.

With a grimace, Helen said, "Does it taste bad?"

"No worse than Judith's rum."
