The Defiance (Brilliant Darkness) - Plot & Excerpts
I don't want to draw attention to our shelter with Peree here. "Well, this is interesting," a male voice says. "Moray! Get out of here!" I hiss. I scuttle behind the washstand and spread my dry clothes against me, trying—and failing—to cover all of me at once. My whole body burns like a spicy pepper from the garden. Doesn't anyone knock anymore? Peree steps between Moray and me. "You heard her. Go. Now." His voice is so menacing, it's unrecognizable. "Take your own advice, Lofty. Rain's stopping, and I doubt you want to be seen down here right now. Sorry to interrupt whatever you three were up to," he says suggestively, "but I have business with Fennel." "Don't be disgusting, Moray!" I say. "Go outside, or at least turn around, and let me get dressed. Then we can talk." "Wait—you want to talk to this low life?" Peree asks. "Not really, but I promised I would." "I'm not talking with him here," Moray says. "I'm not talking at all until I can get dressed without an audience," I huff.
