““I sat on the porch floor, pulling Lend’s head into my lap and hoping he wouldn’t be bruised from that fall. “Reth!” I shouted. “Reth!” Where was that blasted faerie?

Or, you know, a car and a license.” Jack sat on the steps, leaning back on his elbows. “That was a little more excitement than I usually like at dawn.””
