Chapter 11

Nadia could feel Tyrell behind her. They had paired off for their walk, with her and Devon in front of Tyrell and Page. It would be perfect, if she could only ignore Tyrell.

Devon kept the pace slow, turning to include the other two in a conversation. Nadia wasn’t sure if it was because he thought she couldn’t keep up, in deference to Tyrell’s recent injuries, or just because he wanted to include them. Tyrell’s physical condition made her pause. She had assumed his injuries were recent. A lot of the discussion of his condition went over her head. Either way, the slower walk made it easy to talk. Devon bent toward her to escape a branch hanging over the path. It was wide enough for two people, but only barely. “Sorry, didn’t mean to crowd you.”

“You didn’t.” She took a deep breath. The air was fresh and clean with the smell of pine and fir from the trees, which looked big, and intimidating. “I wouldn’t want to stray from the path. It looks scary in the woods. Are there wild animals?”

Tyrell answered from behind. Did the man have bionic hearing? “Big bad wolves. Oh and maybe a bear or two.”

Devon laughed. “Don’t let him scare you. Whatever is in that woods is more scared of you than you are of it.”

Again, from Tyrell, “I wouldn’t bet on it.”

So it wasn’t a perfect walk, or least not the twosome pairing that Nadia wanted and needed to convince Devon to come to New York with her. She had gone over their conversation and her proposal, finally admitting to herself that she might have come on a little strong. She had barely met him before propositioning him. The modeling offer would have been within bounds, but the marriage proposal? It was even worse if he was a traditionalist who thought marriage came in a fancy package called love. Thinking about it, she’d bet he was just that. Well, if she could get him to New York on a modeling contract, the city could take care of the rose-colored glasses.

Nadia walked a little faster, and initiated what she hoped would advance the topic of conversation she wanted with Devon. “Have you given any thought to what I said? I…”

Devon motioned to a log on the lakeside of the path. “Let’s sit for a bit. I could use a drink of water.” Not waiting, he put his small backpack on the log and pulled out a couple of bottles of water. Handing her one, he glanced up at Tyrell who was taking water out of his own backpack. “It’s getting warm.”

Tyrell nodded. “Looks like that storm passed over us. The weather this time of year is unpredictable, but today has been perfect.”

“Maybe we could think about skinny dipping to cool off?” Devon caught Nadia’s gaze.

Was he teasing her? Too bad they weren’t alone, because she just might surprise him. Not that she had ever done anything like that, but there was always a first time, and for some reason she wasn’t feeling like herself.
