Gilly, Williae, leaned toward Tink, her expression earnest "I hear you spent some time with William Did you happen to notice the kind of women heyou know?"

"My poor ears," Anya said "They do not need to hear about Willy you-knowing"

"You guys are weird," Scarlet said "I should kill you all in your sleep That way, I’d stop stressing aboutfriends--because I wouldn’t have any friends It would be in" She was the keeper of Nightmares, the wife of Gideon, and there was no one scarier Most people ran from her at the first opportunity

But not Tink Tink patted her on top of the head "Don’t go near Kane, or I’ll have to hurt you"

"What about Williao near him if she wants," Tink said with a nod

Gwen and Kaia smiled and nodded

"I think a treasure hunt is in our future," Kaia said

"Agreed," Gwen replied

"Second," Tink continued, "I won’t divulge a single detail about what Kane and I do in the bedroom Except to say that it’s awesome I’m probably the most satisfied woman in the fortress, if not the world"

"No way I am!" Anya said

"No, me!" Kaia replied

"Third, a makeover would be nice Thank you Fourth, Williamyes He spent time with a beautiful but very cruel blonde The queen, who is kind of likefrom her eyes "A ht he was"

Tink reached over and squeezed her hand, a gesture of co her gloves, she jerked her arm away "I’m sorry I shouldn’t have touched--no, wait I can Kane rinned--the pride was back
