William said as Trace walked up behind him. “I’ve guided legions that made less noise than ye do.”“Would you have preferred I didn’t announce my arrival?” Trace asked with a chuckle, sitting down beside him. “No offense, Killkenny, but I’d rather not have to explain to Maddy why I slit her boyfriend’s throat defending myself.”William snorted and handed Trace a bottle of the ale he’d bought at a store Elbridge had suggested he stop at. It wasn’t mead, but at least he could stomach it.Trace took the bottle, held the label up to the moonlight, and also snorted. “You drink this rotgut warm?”“Half the taste is lost when it’s chilled.”Trace twisted off the cap and took a sip, made a sound of disgust, and then took a longer swig. “You intend to camp out here every night?”“I can’t very well camp out in her bed, now can I? Not with her mother and young daughter in the house.”“I see she’s using your truck.”“Only until I work up the nerve to give her the new SUV hidden in Kenzie’s barn.”Trace spit out a mouthful of ale.
