Lynsay Sands Quote

Teeth retracting, Lissianna pulled free of Greg Hewitt’s neck and glanced guiltily over her shoulder. The sight of Thomas and her mother staring at her wide-eyed from the doorway was enough to make her stand quickly, her hands moving to straighten her clothes and hair. I cannot believe this! Marguerite stomped into the room. Sneaking around and unwrapping your gifts before your birthday like you’re twelve instead of two hundred! What were you thinking? Well, technically, it her birthday, Aunt Marguerite, Thomas pointed out as he closed the door. Lissianna tossed her cousin a grateful smile, but said, I wasn’t sneaking around. I came up to get fresh stockings. She scooped them up off the bed, and added, And I didn’t unwrap him. Marguerite stared pointedly at the floor. After glancing down to see the untied bow lying forgotten there, Lissianna grimaced, and admitted, Okay, I unwrap him, but only because he was upset, and I hated to leave him distressed. She paused, then tilted her head, and said, I take it Bastien’s arrival interrupted you before you could put the full whammy on him? He was upset about being kidnapped and wanted to be untied when I got here. I didn’t kidnap him, Marguerite said with affront, then peered past Lissianna to Dr. Gregory Hewitt to say, I didn’t kidnap you. I borrowed you.-Marguerite, Thomas, & Lissianna
