wanna come aboard, you come aboard.’
She felt her face smile as she watched him, all mellow nonchalance and laid-back cool.
He glanced up again. ‘Are you just going to stand there?’
‘No.’ She shook her head, a smile still playing on her lips. ‘No, I’m coming on board.’
As Jack stood to give her a hand up she felt his palm, all rough with blisters and hard skin. When she was on deck, instead of letting go, she held onto his wrist with her other hand and turned his over so she could see all the marks. ‘Are you bare-knuckle fighting or something?’
‘Would it turn you on if I was?’
Emily raised a brow.
Jack chuckled. ‘It’s the nature of the job.’
Emily let his hand go and walked around to the front of the boat, letting her fingers trail on the railing. ‘And what is that exactly? I thought you went off to become an engineer.’
‘I am an engineer. I’m also a carpenter. And a boatbuilder.’
She leant facing him with both hands on the railing behind her. ‘You built this?’ she asked, nodding towards the main cabin of the boat.
Jack nodded.
‘Impressive,’ she said.
‘What are you doing here, Emily?’
She shook her head. ‘I took a walk and this is where I ended up.’
Jack narrowed his eyes like he was debating whether to invite her in or send her home. Emily raised a brow back at him, almost in challenge.
‘You want some dinner?’ he said in the end.
‘OK.’
