Don't take me for a fool! Dee interrupted angrily, but then had to lean over the boat as another bout of nausea gripped him. Virginia grinned and winked at Josh. It's hard to sound masterful when you're throwing up, isn't it? I hate you, Virginia Dare, Dee mumbled. I know you don't really mean that, she said lightly. I do, he cro
