Chapter 3

Zahra was determined day two at the lake house would go far better than the day before had gone. If she encountered Gregor, she would just kill him with kindness. She had this. No way would she let a man, especially this man, get under her skin. Oh, she wasn’t unsympathetic to him. She knew of his recent troubles, the accident, and she had a soft spot for those kicked in the gut by life. But she wouldn’t let pity shift her equilibrium.

A boom of thunder shook the house, causing her to yelp. Staring out of the window, she shivered at the sight of the dark skies. Torrential rain had started to fall yesterday, and hadn’t let up one bit. Now she understood why no boats could operate during this mess. And it was only supposed to get worse, according to the news report she’d watched that morning.

Before heading downstairs, she checked her cell phone to see if she had any bars. Nothing. Releasing a heavy sigh, she tossed the device onto the bed and made a mental note to look into switching carriers. It made no sense that she had to trek around the yard in a hundred different directions just to locate a signal.

She recalled Captain Skip saying reception was spotty, but this was ridiculous. Especially when she desperately needed to call her sister and vent. Wow. How the tables had turned.

Zahra came to a screeching halt when she entered the kitchen. Gregor was there, the entire jug of milk pressed to his lips. While he wore the same creepy hoodie as the day before, it was no longer cloaking his face.

On television she’d only ever seen him with close-cropped hair. Now, he sported a head full of glossy, dark curls. The kind you wanted to run your fingers through. Gathering her common sense—and jaw off the floor from his display of poor etiquette—she said, “Oh, my God. What are you doing?”

Gregor pulled the milk jug from his full lips. Turning his back on her, he snapped the hood over his head. “Tending to my business. You should try it. It works well if you do it right.”

Asshole. “You’re drinking from the entire jug of milk?” Her face scrunched. “That’s disgusting. You do know there are plenty of glasses in the cabinet, right? I can get you one, if you’d like.”

As if for spite, Gregor tipped the jug to his lips again and took a long swig, lowered it, dragged the back of his large hand across his mouth and released a satisfying, “Ahhh.”

“No need,” he said, returning the container to the fridge. “I’m done.”

Kill him with kindness. Kill him with... Just kill him. “What if at some point I’d wanted to drink milk?”

“There’s plenty left.” He brushed past her. “Knock yourself out.”

More like, knock you out. She swung around. “I don’t want any of it now. I have no idea where your mouth’s been.”

Gregor backtracked, moving dangerously too close for comfort, but she didn’t let it rattle her.
