Tug is sad as she watches Ship leave the dock and head out into the vast ocean.
She tries to keep herself busy working but feels less brave and more alone when
Ship is miles away. Tug wonders if Ship misses her as much as she misses Ship. She
is excited when Ship eventually returns and listens intently to what Ship has
been doing and where they have been. Tug is surprised to hear that even though
they were oceans away, she was in Ship’s heart and helped them to feel brave
and less alone.
