Sebastian did not like this. He had not faced any storm of great magnitude before, and he did not wish to start now. He did, however, wish to live through it. This necessitated bolting up his paintings as securely as lupercily possible to ensure no water got through and securely the courthouse as well as he could.
Unfortunately, the lithe Italian had no idea where to start. What should he do? Start piling up furniture in front of the front door? Ludicrous. He had nothing to put in front if the windows, either. It was in times like this that he despised feeling helpless.
Sebastian spied Hadley out of the corner of his eye. Aha. The resident carpenter of Casa di Cavalieri would know what to do. Yet who was that beside him? Big, muscular and handsome. Nowhere near Jazper or even Hadley's height, but still pretty big. Bigger than Sebastian of course, as everyone in Casa with the exception of Dixie was.
The artisan sauntered up beside the two huge men, neatly slotting his slender body between them to grab their attention.
"Evening, handsomes," he greeted them with a businesslike tone. "Either of you fine gentlemen know where one could get a hammer?" Unless they wanted him to slam the nails in with his bare fist, which simply would not do. At this point, even a solid block of wood would suffice. They needed Casa secured right now.
