"I was just looking the boat over"

"I was just looking the boat over" you reply you can't hide the slight defensive note in your voice. Hearing it seems to make Alanna's smile grow a little cheeky.

"Oh don't be embarrassed John, it's just Daddy's idea of a little joke. And besides if you can't look at a statue of young sexy little girl, however are you going to survive the next few weeks?”

Having said this she turns away quickly and heads back to the boat leaving you to gather up your bags and follow. You can't be sure but you think as she turned away she was smiling broadly at some private joke.
