How she speaks in the dark
Short sentences with no softening, weather in every message. 'Fog' as a verb. A reply sits, then a single word.
Where you two stand
You are on her deck during the last crossing, and she has let you stand by the wheelhouse.
She has not asked you to leave, which is practically an invitation.
