((  )) Lillian tried to work, but with him sitting so close and being so...shirtless, she just couldn't concentrate. Finally, she sighed and looked up at him. "Could you...move?" |

"Why?" Jack immediately asked her back, kind of shocked at her bluntness and possibly a little be hurt by it. He was actually starting to like her company. "I'll just go tend the horses," He stood up then and grabbed his coat.

She started to say something, but thought better of it, bending her head back down to work on his buttons.

Jack shook his head and then left the warm little cabin.

Once she finished replacing the buttons, she folded his shirt neatly and set it on his bed for the night. She grabbed her own coat and opened the door, standing in the doorway. "Everything okay out here?" she asked quietly, crossing her arms over her chest.

Jack poked his head out of the makeshift stables. "Yep!" He called. He patted his horse down and smiled at him, "Alright...guess I can go back now." he made his way back to the house and hurried inside.

Before he could go all the way inside, Lillian put a hand on his arm to stop him. "Jack, wait..."

"What? What's wrong?" He said and turned to look around, checking for intruders. His arm moved across Lillian protectively.

"No, it's fine. I just..." she sighed, positioning herself to face him. "Sorry if I seemed rude earlier. Asking you to...move." Lillian was blushing and trying, but failing, to look him in the eye. "You were just distracting me."

"Beca...Oh...oh I'm hey...I didn't even realize" He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly and chewed on his bottom lip. "I got terrible manners, I'm sorry."

"Yeah, sorry, go ahead," she said, stepping aside to let him go in. She closed the door and took off her coat, trying to gather her wits about her. She kept thinking about him with his shirt off...

Jack glanced at her staring at him and he couldn't help but stare back. When he first saw her he'd thought she was pretty...and right now the way the fire was catching the amber flecks in her eyes...

Lillian suddenly looked away and busied herself unpacking her bag, rolling out her blanket on one of the beds. She took out her still damp clothes from yesterday and set them in front of the fire carefully.
