”I don’t like that word.” Lurking. It certainly wasn’t a word that should be used in association with her. ”But I’ll allow mousing or slinking...and I’ll stop, even though I was doing it to get to know this school.” Learn her surroundings. Get the lay of the land.

The brunette stepped away from the door and smoothed her skirt. What’re you doing up here, anyway?”

Gideon didn’t think Nerina was stupid. She was actually quite clever. But she was nosy and perhaps a little too curious for her own good. Something he had seen up close almost every day of their childhood. If she was upset by common sense, well, that was her problem.

He didn’t even address her word choice. She could pick whichever she liked. It was still synonymous with lurking. Which she was doing. Without question.

“I’m trying to sort the stairs,” Gideon admitted. ”They move.”
