\u201cI still say that one of us should have gone with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
I barely suppressed a grimace at the words I\u2019d heard far too often over the course of the past three days. I guess letting Seamus so far out of her sight wasn\u2019t sitting well with Leinth at all. Truth be known, I wasn\u2019t entirely happy about Thom\u2019s absence, either, but at least I was keeping that to myself for the most part. Neve looked at me sideways and I shook my head. It wasn\u2019t worth another comment on the matter.<\/p>\n
Carolyn glanced up from the pair of jeans she\u2019d been patching, a faint frown creasing her forehead as she looked at Leinth. \u201cYou act like you don\u2019t trust them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course I trust them,\u201d Leinth said with a hint of faint indignance to her voice. \u201cIt\u2019s the rest of the world that I don\u2019t trust.\u201d<\/p>\n
Neve sighed. \u201cThey\u2019ve got a pair of werewolves trailing them and several members of the Hunt have assured me that if my brother\u2019s in danger, they\u2019ll know and they\u2019ll be there as fast as their mounts can carry them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Leinth glanced at me. \u201cIt\u2019s the distance they\u2019d have to travel that concerns me in that scenario.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEnough,\u201d I muttered, closing the book I\u2019d been trying to read with a loud snap. \u201cThe fact of the matter is, none of us did<\/em> go with them and we\u2019re still here and they\u2019re out there and I\u2019m sure they\u2019re fine<\/em>. They\u2019re not stupid men and they won\u2019t take unnecessary risks.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNo, only necessary ones,\u201d Neve murmured. I glared at her, but my heart wasn\u2019t in it. She shot me a wry smile and all I could do was sigh in response.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ll be fine,\u201d I repeated, meaning it with every fiber of my being.<\/p>\n Maybe if I said it enough to them, I\u2019d finally begin to believe it myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cI still say that one of us should have gone with them.\u201d I barely suppressed a grimace at the words I\u2019d heard far too often over the course of the past three days.
