Will the new wear off? What if the sight of Jensen shirtless stops causing a tingling sensation in her core? What if her cropped shirts and tight leggings stop making his calloused fingers ache to feel her softness?Worrying about the future before you've confronted the past is a hard balance to manage.Maybe he can just fish and lift weights and keep his hands busy so the pain can't catch up to him. It's worked so far. Mostly.Maybe she can just plant and paint and make herself useful so no one will see her insecurities. No one will notice. Probably.What they've got going on is probably just a fling, anyway. It's not like there's love potion in the water or the desert air or the scorpion venom. Ivydell is just another quirky place.Right? less
