Winnie's mouth dropped as Mr. Dempsey cast a wonderful example of a recent charm they'd learned. "And here I thought the boathouse was close enough to be out of sight." She laughed, expression changing to one of amused delight rather than surprise. Win didn't exactly know what she was going for here. She had always just sort of invited trouble to her and clearly Mr. Dempsey was no different.

She waded back toward him, as he was clearly at a disadvantage in those trousers, though she didn't drop her skirts any as the water line exposed more of her legs. Nobody could see them now anyway or so she had to hope. Actually she could hardly see Mr. Dempsey through his conjured fog. so she wandered closer still, coming to a stop only an arm's length away. "Now what?" A quirked eyebrow accompanied the sly smile that curled her lips.
