Chapter 13: Who Tied It
Perrine was holding one end of a topsail when the door opened and the light went out of the room.
She looked up.
Lucan stood against the bright quay with her brown coat over his arm, and every woman on the loft floor stopped stitching.
"My lady," said the grey one with the needle in her teeth.
"It's all right. Garance, take them to the yard for their dinner."
"It isn't dinner time."
"It is now," Perrine said.
They went out in a long rustle, with many looks.
When the door closed she dropped the canvas and wiped her hands on her apron.
"You brought my coat."
"I need you to tie something," Lucan said.
"I beg your pardon?"
He crossed the floor and held out his left wrist.
The blue twine was knotted on the bone, grey with salt and wear.
"Not that one," Lucan said. "I want you to tie it again. From nothing. Here."
He took a hank of tarred cord off the nearest bench and laid it in her hand.
"I don't understand."
"Neither do I. Do it."
She looked at the cord.
"Lucan."
"Please."
It was the first time he'd said it to her.
She wound the end once round her finger.
