Renee Jennings's expression stiffened.
"I respect other people's hobbies, but it's not something I'm fond of. Don't do it again."
Naomi Kenway's smile was gentle, but for some reason, a chill ran down Renee Jennings's spine.
"Nina, as long as you've forgiven me, that's all that matters. I'll... I'll take Nathan and head back now."
Before leaving, Renee Jennings didn't forget to glance over at Naomi Kenway's potato patch. It looked like she had dug up about half the plot, roughly the same progress as her own.
