I’ll just get to live the moment when I knock you on your ass.” This time he did laugh, a proper laugh that she could feel through her back. “Saints, Fjerdan, I didn’t know you could laugh. Careful now, take it slow.” “I enjoy your arrogance, drüsje.” Now she laughed. “That may be the worst compliment I’ve received.”
