Zachary was chuckling but he did not appear embarrassed.

Irene, however, was not humoring him. "Why were you following me?" "How was I following you?" Zachary argued. "You don't own this road. I can use it just like you."

"We did. We just didn't go that far."

"Nothing," Zachary said. "Just taking a stroll, killing time."

Irene ignored that and strode off to try to shake him off.
