Chapter Four

May was looking out at the sea again, until Jack the monkey scurried to her right arm.

"Hello there," May said to animal. He was pretty cute. May shifted her gaze to the sea, but looked back at Jack to see he held a navy blue ribbon in his hands

One minute later

"GIVE IT BACK, YOU FILTHY LITTLE THIEF!" May screeched for the umpteenth time. Jack finally dropped the ribbon, and May grabbed it off the ground. She walked to the railing and realized she couldn't put it back on by herself.

"Do ya need some help?" Ragetti asked, as though he read her thoughts.

"Sure" May said, handing him the ribbon.

As he tied it, she felt her face redden. May thought he let his hands linger a little longer than needed.
