Chapter Nine

Seb finished his second boat trip of the day. His customers seemed happy so he was happy, and getting paid was always a bonus as the boat wasn't cheap to run.

He'd been doing fishing trips and coastal cruises since he'd left the Army 3 years ago. When he was medically discharged, he knew immediately what he'd wanted to do. For the 6 years, he was in the Army he'd thought of nothing but home. Being out on the open sea made him feel free and helped him to forget the atrocities he'd seen whilst enlisted. The injury he sustained whilst actively serving was a blessing in disguise as the decision was taken out of his hands as to whether he should continue serving.

And now here he was, sitting on his own boat that he'd called Pip, making a living doing what he loved. Sometimes the hours were long, but they kept him busy and out of trouble. 

Seb kept his honey blonde hair short and unlike his brother Will, he was 4inches shorter and muscular. The Army had made sure of that and working on the boat had helped keep him in shape. His eyes were a piercing shade of green that women all over the world had complimented him on over the years. He was lucky enough to have seen a lot of the world and all whilst being paid.

People often described him as a deep thinker, quietly confident and brooding - which again, was the polar opposite of this brother. He also preferred his own company as he found that people tended to talk too much instead of just enjoying the silent moments. Being at one with his thoughts was what he craved.

Seb moored the boat and decided to go and grab a bite to eat from The Harbour Inn before his next boat trip. This time he was escorting a couple who had married only yesterday at Amelie's local restaurant that also catered for weddings. They wanted a romantic coastal boat ride as a married couple, and that Seb could do.
