SEVEN

Jenna’s stomach was twisted in knots. She felt much better, at least physically, after the shower. Emotionally she was all over the map. She was wary of Craig after the intense passion-filled kiss they’d shared. Despite everything she was anxious to see him again.

She walked out of the guest bedroom, stopping dead in her tracks when she saw a beautiful woman sitting on the couch. “Umm… hello,” she finally managed to stammer. Was the beautiful blonde Craig’s girlfriend or current lover? Jenna went icy cold at the thought.

The woman in question stood and walked forward to give Jenna a hug. “Hi there. I’m Scarlet Gannon.”

“I’m Jenna.” She quickly stepped away from the woman, putting plenty of space between them. Scarlet, if that was really her name, was a stranger. For all Jenna knew, Scott sent the woman there to get rid of her.

Jenna couldn’t stop herself. She had to ask. “Are you a friend of Craig’s?”

“We’re acquaintances. I actually don’t know him very well,” the blonde admitted.

That was confusing. “What brings you by, Scarlet?”

“Craig had to go to work. My brother-in-law is making sure you’re safe while Craig is out. His wife Rose and I are friends with Brittany and Jessica, so we thought we’d come over and introduce ourselves.

Jenna wasn’t exactly sure what to think of the bubbly woman trying to talk her ear off. She was relieved on several accounts however. She was thrilled to know that the gorgeous Scarlet was married to someone other than Craig. And if Scarlet was friends with Brittany and Jessica, she couldn’t be all that bad.

Jenna immediately warmed up to the other woman. She sat down on the edge of the sofa and motioned for Scarlet to join her. “It’s lovely to meet you. I’m grateful for the company,” she truthfully admitted.

“That’s what Rose and I figured. She’ll be here in a few minutes, by the way. She left a couple of packages in the car and she went to get them.”

As if on cue the doorbell rang. Jenna hesitated. “Craig told me several times not to open the door,” she explained to her visitor.

Scarlet laughed. “Honey, most of the men in Enigma are fiercely protective. You’ll learn that the longer you stay here. Justin is out there keeping the bad guys away. But if it will make you feel better, I’ll open it.”

Jenna didn’t want to do anything foolish to put herself in jeopardy. She didn’t want to cower in a corner hiding from the world either. That would be like another win for Scott. Jenna wasn’t giving up anymore of her life for the jerk.

“No, I’ll do it. I’m not giving another inch to my ex-boyfriend. He’s not worth it.”

Scarlet punched the air with her fist. “You go, Jenna! You need to take back your life.”

“I’m all for it.” She started walking toward the foyer. “Got any ideas on that score?”

Scarlet gleefully rubbed her hands together. “As a matter of fact I do. Hurry up and let Rose inside. We’ll tell you all about it!”

Jenna glanced through the peephole.
