“Mr. Fairhaven and Mr. Thaddeus Abernathy are best buds, and Mr. Thaddeus Abernathy’s with Evadne. So, tell me, do you really think stealing Mr. Fairhaven’s girl is cool? You wanna put Mr. Thaddeus Abernathy in a tight spot, tick off Ms. Ashbourne?”

“Did I ever say I was gonna steal her? It’s been you, Lily, with your crazy paranoia about Mr. Fairhaven.”

Aaron’s lashes fell, his gaze tenderly landing on Marilla’s lovely sleeping face, “But if you keep on thinking this way, eventually you’re gonna make me feel like I ought to step up my game, just out of respect for you.”

“Captain Ashbourne, remember who you are!” Lily’s eyes blazed as she abruptly sat up!

When Marilla was whisked into the treatment room, Jareth arrived with the frost of autumn on his brow and the whirlwind of his

stride.

Behind him, a throng of the Fairhaven group’s men followed, crowding the expansive hallway. His presence seemed less like a visit to a darling wife and more like he was heading to settle a score in some alleyway rumble.

As soon as he entered the hospital, Jareth’s handsome face was an unapproachable slab of millennium–old ice.
