Jacob, the local sheriff, is sent out looking for Ben. As the two exchange barbed words, Bathal gives his protege a warning leading to a reevaluation of Becki's uses.
Bit of a world building chapter this week. Necessary evil, in its way. Got to line up the dominoes so they can be knocked down. Also, I wanted to misspell 'sheriff' about fifty times. Becki's back on her feet in a spicy scene so that's fun.
If fate is merciful (and a recent court decision puts a stop to the madness), then things might actually calm down over the summer and let me get back into a full writing tilt. While I'm technically not behind, my output feels woefully low. Dropbox needs a refresh, too, and I have a pile of stuff that needs retail publishing. In the meantime, happy reading!
