“Sure, there is.” She tucked a stray hair behind her ear. “Remember how she charms all the animals? That’s me and you. I charmed you even though you came back to Creekville thinkingyouwere the one hunting a wolf. I tamed you.”
I narrowed my eyes. “You better watch yourself. You’re taking a hori hori to my fragile ego.”
