She darted around Travis like a fire, taking photos of the captain and his ship from various angles. Travis didn’t interfere or require her conversation. He could sense the excitement of creation flooding through her as clearly as he felt it in himself when elusive details of hull design would condense in his mind. Smiling, he watched his lover, enjoying her intense concentration on her work. She handled cameras and lenses with the same total familiarity he handled wind and sail. When her determination to catch the sunlight on the rigging made her forget he was alive, he sat cross-legged on the deck and began splicing rope, not at all upset at being ignored. When Cat realized that Travis wasn’t nearby anymore, she lowered her camera and looked around for him. She found him halfway back on the deck, sitting in a pool of sunlight. His head was bent over some task. Sun glinted over his tawny hair like a miser running fingers through gold. Her heart hesitated, then beat with redoubled strength. She set aside her camera and went to Travis. Without a word she took the rope out of his hands and started pulling off his T-shirt. “What are you doing?” he asked, surprised. “Taking off your shirt.” He blinked, then relaxed beneath Cat’s hands with a pirate’s smile of anticipation. She smiled in return, the serene smile of a sorceress, and threw his T-shirt aside. Then she put rope back into the hands that were reaching for her and picked up her camera once more. “Come back here and finish what you started,” Travis said. “I’m finished. “What about my pants?” “They make a nice contrast with the deck.” “Well, damn.” Disappointed, Travis made a face at the camera, then resumed splicing rope. Cat photographed him as he worked, seated like a god in the center of a golden cataract of light. He watched her with intense, blue-green eyes, measuring her progress around him while she climbed the rigging and the sailing in search of a perfect angle. At one point she miscalculated. He came to his feet in a single motion and snatched her off her perch before she could fall. She laughed and let herself slide down his body, her hands savoring his supple, sun-warmed skin.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Elizabeth Lowell" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/elizabeth-lowell/cat-worked-tirelessly-absorbed-in-the-subtle-changes-of-light-and/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/cb8/elizabeth-lowell-11962_change_cat-worked-tirelessly-absorbed-in-the-su_213967.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/cb8/elizabeth-lowell-11962_change_cat-worked-tirelessly-absorbed-in-the-su_213967.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/cb8/elizabeth-lowell-11962_change_cat-worked-tirelessly-absorbed-in-the-su_213967.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Cat worked tirelessly, absorbed in the subtle changes of light and texture and composition.
