Lena froze.

She couldn’t help but picture it.

Wyatt, the man who had always held himself so high, circling in his Cessna over the river that divided their two worlds.

“It’s not like that.” She shook her head, her tone lighter than she expected. “He doesn’t like me.”

“How do you know?” Hank pressed. “He always treated you differently.”

The faint smile on Lena’s lips faded.
