Jade subconsciously felt someone's hands around her legs, and around her
back. Her head rolled into something, and she felt the blanket slip off of
her. She was dimly aware that she was being moved, and she felt herself
being put down onto something soft, and something warm.
Jade woke up with the sun in her eyes, and blankets up to her chin. She was in Jack's bed, and he was still sleeping. His hand was resting on her chest, right below her neck. Jade looked at him sleeping, and then looked away.
"Because of your little stunt, love, one of our lifeboats has been destroyed." Jack was awake. "You won't let me go. I had to do something." Jack moved his hand over her neck and across her shoulder as he brought it away from her. "Come on, it isn't all that bad here, is it?" Jack paused. "I mean, you don't have to do anything. Breakfast is always ready for you, and because of me, you're not back in England right now getting married to a man I know for a fact, you don't want to marry." "I know, I know. I actually like it here, but I'm looking for something else." "Really? What?" Jade was silent. She wouldn't tell anyone what she really wanted in life. "Something you would never give me." Jade turned away from Jack, for he was looking into her eyes, and it made her nervous.
