Edan didn’t know how things like this happened. The last few days had seemed almost as if he’d imagined them, they were so foreign to his way of living. He didn’t know how fully formed women suddenly threw their arms around men they scarcely knew and kissed them. He didn’t know how that same impulsive woman was suddenly inseparable with another man she’d only just met.

But that is precisely what had happened with Jenny and Lorenzo.

One moment, she was stomping through his reception area with clothes clinging to her enticingly curvy body, and the next, she and Lorenzo Bartolotti had their heads together, bent over a computer, murmuring in Italian.

They’d even dined together last night. Jenny had tried to include him in their party, but Edan was not going to suffer being the third wheel at that table, particularly after Lorenzo’s brothers had left the Cassian Inn, bound for a proper resort with a proper golf course. And a proper bar. And proper dancing girls.

And again the next morning, there went Lorenzo and Jenny toddling off to East Beach on some mission of importance, chattering away as if they’d known each other all their lives.

Edan should have been relieved that the loquacious lass had something to occupy her. He should have been grateful that Lorenzo had come along and removed the unexpected problem of her in his head and in his life. God knew he had enough to do without her nattering on in his ear.

But he was not relieved. He was, surprisingly, miffed. And it didn’t help that his dogs were moping about as if she’d left them behind. How long did she intend to stay and wreak havoc, anyway?

“I donna understand it,” he said to Clara’s headstone. “It’s no’ as if I care, aye?” He glanced sidelong at the headstone for a moment, feeling as if Clara was giving him the side eye from some celestial perch. All right, perhaps it was true that Jenny had uncovered some feeling in him. It was lying there, visible where his grief over Audra was beginning to rot through.

Jenny had set him on fire, and for a man who had not been set afire in a while, that was a dangerous thing to have done. Now he wondered if she was the sort of bird who flirted and carried on with any fucking penis that crossed her path. That thought was followed by the equally exasperating thought that it wasn’t his business. All those thoughts together put him in a very foul mood the following afternoon, which was much remarked upon by Rosalyn. She said his demeanor was colder than Highland snow. That his scowl could curdle milk. And then she’d made the mistake of summoning him to the kitchen to tell him she needed flour.

“If you need flour, Ros, you’d best say so before five o’clock. It’s no’ as if the markets stay open for the Cassian Inn, is it?” he’d snapped. “Now I’ll have to drive all the way to Black Springs.
