2 " shower. Anything else you want to know can wait.” Gratitude welled up in the form of tears, and I had to blink them back. Cripes on toast, pregnant women sure did cry a lot, didn’t they? "
3 " He froze. “They didn’t feed you for three days?” “Just junk food. I’m dying for a salad and a big piece of steak.” Kane blinked. Then he let out a bark of laughter. “Hell, woman, that’s the last thing I expected you to say. I was about to suggest a big vat of cupcakes, but steak it is. "
4 " As he led me down the steps of the council’s administration "
5 " building, he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and held on tight. “Don’t ever get yourself arrested again, got it?” “Got it,” I agreed. “How long have I been in there?” “Three days.” “Good goddess, no wonder I’m starving. "
6 " Shower first, steak and salad second.” His lips twitched. “No cupcakes?” “Maybe cupcakes for dessert.” “That’s what I thought. "
7 " Sure enough, Sierra now had three official witches peppering her with questions. One had a notebook levitating in front of her with a ballpoint pen scribbling words across the page. "
