"You've got quite the adaptability," Ethan Laurent said, sitting on the inflatable boat, extending a hand toward her.
Summer Ford quietly looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and placed her hand in his palm.
Ethan's hand clasped hers, slightly pulling her up, and Summer was drawn onto the boat.
She was completely soaked after being in the sea.
He didn't seem to mind, pulling her to sit behind him, pressing her to lean against him, guiding her arms to wrap around his waist.
The gesture made Summer pause, but she didn't refuse.
The sea's temperature was actually a bit cold, and Summer's clothes were drenched, making her body feel cold, and she shivered a bit.
Ethan's body temperature was relatively cooler than most, but leaning against him like this, whether it was because Summer's body temperature was too low or some other reason, she found him... particularly warm.
