Chapter 710 I'll Avenge You

Glenna noticed the coat around Deirdre’s frame and asked, "Hmm. Did you go out with Kyran?"

The way she said it made Deirdre think the young woman must have missed out on Brendan. It was a good thing, too-Deirdre would not know how to explain it otherwise.

It was a good fib, so she took it. "That's right. We were having dinner together today, but he had an emergency halfway through and just had to go. So, I called you."

"Emergency my *ss! He shouldn't even think about leaving someone who has difficulty seeing by the roadside, alone, in the godd*mn night!" Glenna tutted, mildly irritated. "He should count his blessings that I was around. It'd have taken me at least half an hour to reach you if I were at home. That nerve! What if you got into trouble with some local thugs, huh?"

Deirdre smiled. "I'm a grown-up, not a kid. I’ll scream if I get into trouble."

"Not tonight," Deirdre declined. There were marks and bruises on herself, and her mental state was too volatile to her own liking. The last thing she wanted was for Kyran to notice anything amiss. "Is there a guest room in your place, Glenna?"

I’ve got like so many spare rooms, and they're all so empty!" She stopped herself. "Wait a minute. Aren't you supposed to go home and be with your man or something? The two of you were practically glued together.
