Now all vestiges of color drained from his face. He flinched backward as though an electric spark had arced between us, and the calm expression shattered. I reached out tentatively and touched the tiny line of the break, where the bone pressed white against the bronze skin. There was no more than a foot between us.
There was a hesitation, almost a question in the name. "About three minutes after I last saw ye-Sassenach." The corners of his wide mouth lifted up slightly. I walked through the flap in the counter, seeing nothing but that unblinking stare. It made him look fiercer, I thought, but lessened that air of aloof reserve, and lent his appearance a new rough charm. The knife-edge bridge was slightly thickened near the base by the ridge of an old, healed fracture. The lines surrounding eyes and mouth were deeper, or course. It was the same broad, good-humored face, dark blue eyes aslant the high, flat cheekbones of a Viking, a long mouth curling at the ends as though always on the verge of smiling. A tremor ran down the muscular throat as he swallowed, but still he didn't say anything. I had time to see that the neat ribbon that tied it back was green, and then he turned around. He wore his hair long a thick tail of a deep, rich auburn sparked with copper. He was dressed in shirt and breeches, and had a small tool of some kind in his hand, with which he was doing something to the innards of the press. "Is that you, Geordie?" he asked, not turning around. The book also goes on to tell about Roger, Bree and Claire looking for clues as to where Claire might find Jamie and when they did and when she went back. Not that there aren't more evil bastards but still. I cried my eyes out =(īut Randall is dead! OMG! I was so happy and then weirded out for a minute that the evil bastard wasn't going to be around any more. I thought I would going to keel over until Jamie and Claire were together again but I did enjoy the story up until then, with the exception of a few things.Īlso, it's so hard to know that they are all dead, well most, and Murtagh too =( Murtagh, it was so sad when Jamie was telling Claire about it later on. That seems to be the way it has been going. Not every little thing is told right away and I'm sure there is going to be some things later on down the road that might be brought up in other books. I can't say for the rest of the series yet, but so far they are wonderful!įor a good bit of the story we are told about what Jamie and Claire had been doing during their years apart. These books are becoming some of my favorite books of all time.
