Jack wasn't sure how he'd ended up flirting with Carter and picking out dresses for her, but it'd managed to be kinda sweet in the end. But, as far as them going to the wedding together, that'd been a no fly zone no matter how much Jack wanted it.

But Carter had said no and Jack, both as friend and CO, had to respect that decision.

He'd spent the morning swimming and had darted back up to New Atlantis to nab a towel from his hut when he saw her. Dammit. No avoiding Carter now. He'd have to speak to her out of politeness; it wasn't like he was mad at her or anything. He just couldn't trust himself around her.

"Morning, Carter."

It'd be easier if he had on more than swim trunks, wouldn't it?

"Morning, sir." It was habit to address him like that, and it sounded more formal than she meant, but what else could she do? She didn't trust herself to be on a first name basis with him right now, especially when he looked like that. He must have been swimming, she thought, and she was trying not to pay attention to the fact that he was shirtless.

"Did you have a good swim?" Polite chitchat; she could handle that.
