“Don’t look at him. Dex almost tore down my turf, for your sake. I would be a fool if I couldn’t tell your relationship.” Calvin explained. Then, he cupped her face. “Besides you, I bet no one in Wavery dares to provoke Alex Lane. You’re famous now!”

Josie smiled ruefully, causing her wound to reopen. She grimaced in pain and said, “Thanks to you leaving me in the lurch, I’m disfigured now.”

Calvin laughed at her sarcastic remark. “Please don’t blame me. I need to run my business. I’m kind enough to get Dex there.”

Josie rolled her eyes and paused briefly. “I’m entrusting my brother to you. We’re even.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll discipline him properly and return an obedient brother to you in a few years.”
