Quote of the Day for Saturday, August 3, 2024
The following quote is taken from Written in My Own Heart’s Blood, Chapter 7, The Unintended Consequences of Ill-Considered Actions. Copyright 2014, All Rights Reserved.
This quote is going to be long, but I needed all of it to get to a conclusion…..
“What the devil did you tell me for, ye wee idiot?” he said under his breath, urging his horse up into a gallop. “What did ye think I’d do?”
Just what you damn well did was the answer. John hadn’t resisted, hadn’t fought back. “Go ahead and kill me,” the wee bugger had said. A fresh spurt of rage curled Jamie’s hands as he imagined all too well doing just that. Would he have gone ahead and done it, if that pissant Woodbine and his militia hadn’t shown up?
No. No, he wouldn’t. Even as he longed momentarily to go back and choke the life out of Grey, he was beginning to answer his own question, reason fighting its way through the haze of fury. Why had Grey told him? There was the obvious---the reason he’d hit the man by sheer reflex, the reason he was shaking now. Because Grey had told him the truth.
“We were both fucking you.” He breathed hard and deep, fast enough to make him giddy, but it stopped the shaking and he slowed a little; his horse’s ears were laid back, twitching in agitation.
Hope you enjoyed a week of the first seven chapters of MOBY as much as I did bringing them to you!
