Choosing Her Lover
Chapter 26
For the smallest of moments, I think Charlotte is going to launch herself at Marcie, but then Michael’s hand is on her arm, his knuckles white.
Michael’s voice is cool. “You have a big mouth, Marcie. I’m not going to tell James you said that. If you don’t care for him, then fair enough; I know he can be abrasive sometimes. But don’t talk about what you don’t know. Before you go opening your mouth at random again, you might try finding out a few facts; such as how did James come by his limp?”
Marcie’s face is sour and pale. She stares back at him but doesn’t speak.
Time to show my colours. Let’s wave the flag for them….
“Michael, how did James get his limp?” I ask.
In fact, I’m genuinely interested. James Alexanders does not seem like the kind of man to get involved in a street brawl.
Michael’s eyes meet mine for a moment. So do Charlotte’s. They both know what I just did.
“He was shot,” says Michael. “A man was trying to murder Charlotte, but James shielded her with his body and took the bullet for her.”
Marcie’s eyes widen. I think mine do as well.
“Wow!” I say. “A real hero.”
“Yes,” says Michael, “a hero.”
“Yeah….” slurs Steve, his tone sarcastic. “A real hero….”
Charlotte breaks in, her tone acid. “Have you done anything heroic recently, Steve?”
“Apart from getting punched unconscious by Charlotte here…” finishes Michael. Steve blanches and finally….
