Sleepy Fox Hollow strange

Movement and noise caught her eyes and ears—Etienne. Fiona made a wide arc to avoid him, hoping both to avoid confrontation and detection all together. The last thing she needed was for him to somehow think that he needed to apologize to her (or demand an apology from her, which seemed more likely in her professional opinion). In any case, Anselm had made it clear they were not to fraternize. Fiona intended to oblige, as interesting of a case as Etienne was, she didn't need to ruffle any feathers.

She moved ahead, keeping as much distance as she could between herself and the lighter wolf. Fiona supposed it was better than trying to fight off a threat from the outside.
