"I'm wrapping it up later, or Eunyce can if that would be easier." She couldn't argue and insist that it was terrible enough to require immediate attention, he was standing just fine, so hopefully he could just give her that much.

"Mine first, yours second. After all, sending me off to be married to a man I don't know after what happened with Christian, and how badly I reacted to the result, was a malicious act on her part. Not only would she get rid of me through marriage or my possible suicide, you wouldn't have any reason to suspect that the woman who sent you a bride was Farson's bitch. She also relied on the fact that I would never trust you enough to reveal my skill with a gun, or that I would bring up my suspicions about her allegiance." Her smile was humorless and even a bit sad. "Even if I did work up the bravery to tell you anything she trusted that I wouldn't risk Lena and Nathan's marriage in exchange for ours." She shrugged gently, "Unfortunately she was right in as many ways as she was wrong. Hurray for us."
