Chapter 57

"Like this?" Isla asked, lifting the bow and closing one eye.

Derulo placed on hand on her stomach and one on her back, straightening her. 

"Close, but remember to keep your core tight."

She remained in the position Derulo shifted her into as he let go and took a step away from her. 

She inhaled deeply and aimed the arrow at the target that was pinned to the tree about ten yards away. 

Derulo had been coaching her in archery all week long when she wasn't with Manda, even though the female accompanied them some days. She was a gifted archer, but Derulo was even better. 

He was a patient and enthusiastic teacher.

  Isla knew he was also keeping an eye on her for Kelly.

She hadn't seen Kelly all week.

  Well she'd seen him, but she hadn't spoken to him.

  She'd seen him in the distance while she was out and about with Manda.
