“Aunt Jenna took its picture. She said it was so big that we could put a leash on it and take it for a walk around the block—”
“Why don’t you two go inside and get washed up?” Jenna cut in. “We haven’t had breakfast yet.”
As far as diversions went, it might not have been subtle but it was effective. The children headed toward the cabin. Dev grabbed hold of Violet’s collar before she included herself in the invitation.
“So. A spider.” Dev’s lips twitched.
“I’m sure you’ve seen them before,” Jenna said tartly.
“Not one that I could put a leash on and take for a walk around the block.”
Jenna whipped out her phone again and scrolled through the pictures, stopping at the close-up of a spider roughly the size of the designer dog Elaina had carried around in her purse.
Dev blinked. Okay, it was that big.
“What did you do? Throw your shoe at it?” He’d been kidding…until he saw the guilty look on Jenna’s face.
“You threw your shoe at it?”
“Yes, but I didn’t think I’d actually hit it.”
“I’m shocked.”
“So was I.” The husky laugh that followed packed more of a punch than Jenna’s smile.
While Dev was recovering from the impact, she veered toward the cabin. Tossed a smug look over her shoulder.
“And you said they weren’t practical.”
Dev closed his eyes, but there she was—engraved in his memory—ready to return at a moment’s notice.
So maybe Jenna wasn’t a clone of Elaina, but she was obviously a city girl.
There was no point getting involved with someone who’d made no secret of the fact that she couldn’t wait to leave Mirror Lake, the only place in the world that Dev wanted to be.
Jenna was right. Boundaries weren’t such a bad idea.
For all of them.
