He laughed then, a throaty chuckle that had Rowan’s lips quirking despite her best intentions. “You’re about as good at lying as you are at sitting in trees.”

“As though you had nothing to do with that.”

“Nope,” he grinned, relaxing once again behind the wheel. “It’s all gravity.”

They drove on in silence for a while after that, but it didn’t seem as fraught. Rowan was thankful for that.
