Dawson shook his head but said nothing.
Then he pulled out his phone, pressed his thumb on the home button, and offered it to me. “Go on.”
“What?”
“I unlocked it. Take it.”
“I’m not gonna look through your phone!”
“It’s only fair. You feel, and rightly so, that your privacy is about to be violated. So, this is the best I can do.”
I was about to snap at him again when the steward returned with my breakfast.
“Eat first,” Dawson commanded. “It’s going to be a long day.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Iain,” he warned.
Finally, I had the upper hand again.
I tucked into my breakfast and ignored Dawson and his phone even though my curiosity was dying for me to learn more about the man. The bits and pieces I’d already discovered in the past twelve hours were more than I had gathered in the several years we’d worked together.
But my inquisitiveness would have to wait.
Brodie sauntered down the aisle and stopped by my seat. I knew by that shit-eating grin on his face that I was about to get razzed.
“Is Dawson as snuggly as he looks?”
“Better,” I quipped and gave my best friend a choice finger.
“He took good care of you. Even tucked you in with a blanket.”
“You didwhat?” I turned to Dawson.
His cheeks pinked up, making the freckles on his face stand out.
“You looked cold! What was I supposed to do?”
“I don’t need taking care of.”
“Anyone sitting beside you would have done the same thing,” Dawson snapped. “If the steward offered you a blanket, would that be okay?”
“Yes, but that’s their job.”
“So, I should have just let you sit there and shiver? I’m in the wrong?”
“I didn’t say you’re in the wrong?—”
“Uh, guys,” Brodie interrupted.
“Yeah?” I looked up.
Brodie shook his head. “I’m gonna give you the same advice you once gave me. Just fuck already and give the rest of us some peace and quiet.”
Brodie turned around and headed back to his seat.
Dawson cleared his throat and then pulled out his laptop.
