Green Eyes

On a moonlit night on Lake Huron, a small black rowboat drifts in the calm waters of Morton’s Bay. Inside, Florence Huyler keeps watch while the young French girl, Petite Jeanne, sits in quiet contemplation. Their peaceful respite is repeatedly disturbed by a speeding motorboat that throws the craft about, forcing Florence to balance concern for her companion with a lingering curiosity about the surrounding night.

Beyond the gentle ripples, a faint light glints off a rocky cedar island where a solitary cottage stands, its somber‑dressed occupant rarely seen. The mystery of the island and its reclusive lady beckons Florence, hinting at secrets hidden in the misty waters. As the speedboat roars back toward them, the two women find themselves caught between the lure of adventure and the safety of the familiar, setting the stage for a tale of intrigue on the Great Lakes.
