CHAPTER EIGHT
WHEN HARRYâS CAR pulled up outside her workshop on Sunday morning, Ella didnât bother pretending that she hadnât noticed. She stood in the doorway as he strode towards her, those long legs covering the distance with a loose-limbed ease that had all the feelings heâd evoked in her on Friday night roaring to instant life.
Donât think about Friday night.
Of course, she hadnât been able to think of anything else since.
Then think of Susie.
That, at least, had her pushing her shoulders back and pasting on a smile. One glance into his face, though, had her gaze sliding away. âCâmon in, itâs turned chilly.â
This time Tuesday theyâd be on a plane winging their way to the balmy climes of Malaysia, leaving the winter chill behind. Itâll be fun. She gritted her teeth and tried harder. Itâll be fun!
âDid you want another sewing lesson while we compare notes about yesterdayâs events?â Yesterday had been their unofficial hen and stag parties.
âLove one.â
Sheâd put an inordinate amount of thought into this meeting, hadnât wanted them to sit awkwardly at the table, staring at each other while nursing mugs of coffee. Itâd be easier to talk if they had something else to focus on.
She moved to the sewing machines. âYouâve mastered the main construction of the boxy tops I make for the markets.â
The tops were ridiculously easy to makeânothing more than a back and front, sewn together, with simple cuff sleeves. But she made them in such breezy bright fabrics that they flew off the racks. Inexpensive to make, and she priced them to sell.
âThose sleeves were tricky.â He took a seat at what had become his machine.
âBut you got the hang of them.â Heâd insisted on unpicking one sleeve three times to get it perfect. His determination had impressed her. âThereâre just two more things to do before your top is finished.â
He swung to her. âNo way!â
âYes way. And the first of those is to bias bind the neckline.â She pointed. âThe bias binding is the long thin piece we cut.â
Sheâd set his work in progress beside his workstation and grabbed a finished top from the pile she was working on. âThis is what we want our finished product to look like.â
He took it and studied the neckline thoroughly. She swallowed at the intensity of his gaze. Dear God. If sheâd said yes to spending the night with him on Friday evening, all of that amazing focus wouldâve been squarely concentrated on her andâ
She rattled back into speech. âThis is how we attach it.â She showed him how to pin the binding to the neckline. âAnd we sew along there.â
âFiddly,â he muttered.
That was the planâto keep his attention focussed elsewhere rather than on her. âThe sleeves were fiddly too, but you managed those. Just take it slow. Cuppa?â
âMaybe later.â
Damn. Sheâd hoped for a break from the enticing scent of leather and amber. Seizing one of the unfinished tops from her pile, she started sewing. Sheâd attached bias binding to necklines so often she could do it on autopilot.
