CHAPTER TEN

Jen watched Ty sweep the cabin with military precision. It didn’t seem to matter that they hadn’t heard anything, that it had been only this cold chill of a feeling that had gone through both of them. Ty was behaving like they were in imminent danger.

Surely it was just coincidence or…something. It unnerved her more than the feeling itself that he’d felt it, too, and that he took it seriously.

People didn’t just feel things. If they did, her dream last night about Laurel was a lot more ominous. But Laurel had called this morning with a lead and everything had been fine.

Everything was fine, because Ty found nothing. He was now perched in what appeared to be an uncomfortable position, looking through the slight gap in the curtain at the front of the cabin.

“Ty, this is silly. There’s nothing out there. We’re both wired and worried.”

“We both felt something,” Ty returned, as if that was just a normal thing people experienced. As if a shared feeling of discomfort or unease magically meant someone was out there.

“But that doesn’t make any sense, Ty. It can’t be possible.”

He shrugged, his gaze never leaving the small patch of yard. “In the rangers you learn to roll with the things that don’t make sense. It’s not like we ever made any sense.”

“Why not?” she asked before she remembered that this constant mix-up of them and this situation was only going to cause more heartache. She’d had her epiphany last night about asking for what she wanted, but what about things she didn’t know if she wanted?

Part of her wanted Ty, but she didn’t think it was a very intelligent part of herself.

Ty scoffed at her question. “Aside from the fact we’re opposite in just about every way—a Carson and a Delaney. Ring any cursed bells?”

“That’s not holding much weight these days.”

“That’s these days. Besides, we’re still opposites.”

“And opposites attract.”

Ty shook his head, but his gaze was outside and his demeanor was completely unreadable. “There’s got to be some common ground for all those differences to rest on. Attraction is easy.”

She didn’t know why she felt the need to argue with him, only that she did. It made what they’d had before seem…doomed. An unimportant castoff.

It wasn’t that. She wouldn’t let it be that to him. “Then how do you explain Laurel and Grady?”

“Aside from the fact they both love and would protect the people they love with their life, they love Bent. They believe in it. Honestly, deep down, Laurel and Grady have more alike things than different.”

Even knowing it was true, even having said the same to her brother Dylan in defending Grady and Laurel—back before he himself had been felled by a Carson—it irked her that Ty of all people recognized it.

“All right. Explain Dylan and Vanessa.”

“Again, they might antagonize each other, but it’s only because they’re so alike deep down. They want the world to see the persona they put forth, not who they actually are.”

It had taken her years to understand that about Dylan, and Ty said it like it was common knowledge.
