Five hours later with her hands on her hips, Sienna studied the array of pieces on the studio shelves. A row of frogs in a variety of positions in bright hues of green, red, and blue looked back at her. She yawned and debated whether to go down and enamel the last of tonight’s batch, but before she could decide, the sound of a motorcycle pulling up at the back of the building caught her attention.

Her heartbeat picked up and she smoothed her hair down. She’d been perspiring in the heat of the small bricked-in room, and her hair was plastered to her head. Heading for the bathroom to clean up, she pulled off her thick work apron and then stopped before she got to the door.

What the heck am I doing?

She turned and crossed the room to the door to the back of the building. Jack was walking across to her, with his helmet in his hand.

“Are you okay?” He put his helmet on the ground, held the top of her arms and frowned down at her. “When it got so late I was worried about you.”

A strange warm flush filled Sienna’s chest as he held her gaze, his brow wrinkled in a frown. It had been a long time since anyone had worried about her. Her stomach fluttered and she fidgeted beneath his touch.

“I’m fine. I’ve been working on my frogs.” She stepped back and rubbed her arms with her hands, trying to ignore the sensation of his hands on her skin. She glanced over at the sofa. “I was thinking about sleeping here tonight.”

“I was worried your car wouldn’t start.”

“Oh, shoot.” Sienna rolled her eyes. “I totally forgot about the car. I didn’t call the mechanic.”

“Have you eaten?”

“What are you, my keeper?” Sienna was sorry as soon as the words left her lips.

“I didn’t mean to upset you. I was just trying to look out for you.” He shrugged. “Besides, I had to come back in. There’s some stuff here in the garage I need.”

She’d forgotten all about the truck delivery this morning, and her curiosity was piqued. “Did everything arrive okay?”

“Yes. I just need to get myself organized now.”

“Jack? Will you show me your work?” Her voice was hesitant. Maybe he didn’t want her to see his work yet. Uncertainty filled her as he stared down at her.

He hesitated and she shrugged. “If you don’t want to—”

“No.” He walked over to the small loading area next to the door and put his helmet down. “It’s fine. Employee confidentiality and all that. I’m sure you won’t share what I show you with anyone.”

Disappointment settled in Sienna’s chest. He was worried she’d take his ideas, and he’d found it necessary to remind her she was an employee. For a while tonight as she’d immersed herself in her work, she’d totally let the situation leave her thoughts.

“On second thought, don’t worry about it.” Sienna turned away and strode across to the door, her protective work boots making a satisfying clump as she walked.
