The Tyrant's captive bride
“Harper, right? Walk me through it again. Slow this time. No attitude.”
“Oh, attitude’s all I’ve got left,” I say, leaning against the counter because if I sit down I might not get back up. “She stormed in, gun out, ranting about how I stole her man, how I’m nineteen and temporary. Backed me into the counter. Finger on the trigger. Said she’d cripple me first so I couldn’t run. Then Elias shot her from the doorway. End of scene. I didn’t touch a weapon, didn’t call anyone, just stood there praying I wouldn’t be next. From her of course not Elias.”
