Quote by Connie Brockway
““I fear I am once more in your debt, Mr. Owens,” she said, her voice shaking just a bit. “Think nothing of it,” Jim said, calmly replacing his pistol in its shoulder holster and leaning back on his bedroll. He no longer got rattled at having to shoot things, climb things, chase things, or dive into things to snatch her back from the precipices she seemed always to be leaning over. It was all in the day’s work. “Please. Continue with what you were saying.””
