The New Guard (Crossroads Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
David was tense, but he was taking things more calmly than Deborah had thought he would. Yero had come at breakfast to inform David that the council would not meet that day either. As the rest of the group cleaned up and prepared to train or learn for the day, the Beagle chose that moment to recount the early morning events. Eve made herself scarce; Deborah stopped working and sat down. The Coterie brothers quickly moved the other children from of the room. Yero stood the entire time. After reporting the facts, the Beagle found a corner and curled up in it. David turned to Deborah, intense questioning in his eyes. For her part, Deborah held herself straight and unflinching. “I’m sorry,” she said before anything else could be said. “Not for the kiss, but tor the hour that it happened. I’m sorry I didn’t have the courage to tell you sooner. I couldn’t seem to find the proper time. I really like him, Dad. . .” “A lot,” the Beagle said from the corner. Both David and Deborah shot the angel a harsh look.
