The Name Of The Blade, Book Two: Darkness Hidden (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Thinking back to when I was a little girl – back when I’d still run to him whenever I fell and grazed my knee – I realized that he had always been good at taking care of people, really. I’d just forgotten. After I’d taken the painkillers he insisted on, I combed my hair and washed my hands and face while he ventured upstairs into Jack’s room again and borrowed more clothes. I was praying I didn’t wreck these ones; if I carried on this way she was going to come home to an empty wardrobe. “You’re going to have to shell out for some new stuff for me to wear,” I told him, slightly on the defensive, as I emerged from my room. I was relatively clean and dressed in a pair of skinny jeans – a lot less skinny on me than they were on Jack – and a black jumper, with my sword harness on top. “Everything I own is headed for Oxfam.” Dad gave me a calculating look. “Why don’t you use your savings account?” “Because when I wanted to buy that leather jacket, you said my savings account was for university, not ‘expensive rags’.”
