Samantha James Quote

Fionna had dredged the weapon from her reticule. She clung to the grip, but the barrel was wavering.He willed his thoughts into hers..But it was not to be. Colson spied Fionna holding the pistol. He wrenched it from her grasp and turned, searching for Aidan.The pistol was in his hands, pointed at Aidan's chest. Colson threw back his head. You can't have her, you stupid fool! She's mine! Colson crowed.Fionna, it appeared, had been totally dismissed.A stupid mistake on Colson's part. Aidan was rather stunned... and wholly proud. It all happened in an instant. Fionna seized her parasol with all the frenzy of a woman protecting her own. She whacked Colson full on in the belly the way she'd once tried to do with Aidan. This time she succeeded.This time with a power borne of fury and fire.Colson grunted with pain. His eyes went wide with shock. He clutched his belly and began to slump...Just as Fionna's knee came up.His jaw cracked like the sound of a pistol.There was no sweeter sound on earth. No sweeter feeling than Fionna clinging to him with all her might.Aidan! Aidan, I knew you would come. I knew it!Aidan's laugh was breathless with love and laughter. Remind me, sweet, never to cross you when you're holding a parasol.
