Rosie was late.

Dev glanced down at his watch. Ten minutes and counting to be exact. Not that he was entirely surprised. Not for one second did he think she’d be on time. Knowing her, she was late on purpose.

He stood on the porch of Lucian’s home, crossing his arms over his chest as he glanced to the house next door. Trees blocked most of the home, so he could see only the top of a Victorian-style turret. He was a little curious about the people who lived in that house. Were they sane was probably the most pressing question.

His gaze flicked back to the street as a car drove past. There were a lot of things he could be doing with his time, but here he was, standing on a porch at night, waiting for a paranormal investigator who just might be working with a reporter who was determined to bring his family down.

Oddly, he was kind of looking forward to it.

Not because he was looking forward to seeing her, but because this was a good opportunity to determine just how much of a threat she was. Did she really believe Lawrence’s spirit had visited her or was she lying?

That’s what he told himself as a car slowed down and then stopped. He jogged down the steps and went to the gate. Under the soft glow of the streetlights, he saw her as she pulled a large backpack out of the back seat. Her hair was pinned up into a mess of curls, but there was something elegant about the look and the length of her neck. Dev unlocked the gate as she turned to him.

Even in the dark he could read the writing on her black shirt.

GIRLS DO SHIT BETTER. The SH was grayed out, making it appear as if it said GIRLS DO IT BETTER.

Waving goodbye to the driver, she slowly made her way to the gate. So slowly, Dev was positive that a turtle would walk faster. “You’re late,” he said, opening the gate for her.

“Am I?”

He eyed her as she walked past. Not for one second did he believe she didn’t realize that. The bag she carried looked like it was weighing half her body down. “Hold on.”

Stopping, she turned to him. It was dark by the driveway, so he couldn’t make out her features as he walked to her and reached for the backpack. The moment his fingers curved around the strap, she gave a little jolt. He lifted the bag. “God. What do you have in this bag?”

“A small child,” she replied. “Thanks.”

Felt like she had a toddler in there. Extending an arm, he said, “Let’s get this over with.”

“You sound so thrilled about this. You know, you didn’t—” She tripped over something on the ground. He reached for one flailing arm, catching her as she let out a loud laugh. “Whoops.”

“So, you are as clumsy as a three-legged alligator?”

Rosie snorted. “Only when it’s pitch-black out and I have no idea where I’m walking.” She paused.
