I shivered at his smooth voice, hating myself for the reaction. “I thought you might be interested to know that your behaviour at the lake was noticed and commented upon. I don’t care if I’m dying, drowning, or being mauled,do notpull that shit again.”

His reply was immediate. “Impossible.”

“This is the part where you make up some Luther bullshit to justify ruining my life, right?”
