She shook it off. “But not yet. We’ll get my things, go to the cottage. I think it’ll be easier if you read what I wrote about everything. Then if you have questions, I’ll answer them.”
Ocean Wolf Haven
She just told herself that she was going to have Marco stay there for a few days without technology, so that he might be more maneuverable. Why would Marco need for Sedrac need to get things for him if they are going back to the cottage, which is in civilization? They could just go to the village.

“Sure and they would. Nothing the Trolls favor more than a good trade. Other than a good meal with a large tankard of ale. It’s a good ride to the nearest mines and their trading post.

“A little sore here and there, but nothing much.”
Ocean Wolf Haven
In reality, it’s always the second and third day that soreness sets in. However, training through it helps to ease pain.

Ocean Wolf Haven
Why does this sentence have to be worded in such a confusing way? “He looked exactly that.” What the heck does that mean? She is the one who was in her pajamas, has bed head, and has not had her coffee. So what does it mean that he looked exactly that? Sometimes this author writes so oddly.

How are we supposed to know who is saying this entire paragraph of dialogue? I thought it was Breen and imagined it in a female voice. Then, I learned that it was Keegan, so I have to reread it and come into the notes to bitch about it! UGH!!!
