Chapter 28 Messenger Chat Between Gideon Blake and Winnie Preston
Messenger Chat Between Gideon Blake and Winnie Preston
Gideon: Winnie, I have a spot of lady trouble and I need your help.
Winnie: Isn’t this something your bestie Alaric should help with?
Gideon: I already called him. He said, “I’m sorry, I can’t hear you, the castle is going through a tunnel” and made chugging noises until I hung up.
Winnie: Before I agree to help you, you have to clear up one thing for me.
Winnie: Did you murder Danny or Patrick?
Gideon: No.
Winnie: You SURE about that?
Gideon: I think I’d remember if I’d killed someone.
Winnie: And you didn’t pay someone to have them killed?
Gideon: Nope.
Winnie: If you’re lying to me, I will send Alaric around with the testicle-severing knife. I’m happy to help. What’s up?
Gideon: There’s this lady that I’m madly in love with.
Winnie: Arabella.
Gideon: No.
Winnie: So, not Arabella? Hmmmm.
Winnie: Is her name Schmarabella?
Gideon: No.
Gideon: You don’t know her.
Gideon: But I like her. A lot. And I want to show her how I feel about her, but she kind of hates me.
Gideon: Normally, my face is enough to have women throwing themselves at my feet. But this lady – whose name is absolutely NOT Arabella – is immune to my many charms.
Winnie: I think that we’re going to need to call in the troops on this one.
Gideon: What? No.
Gideon: Winnie.
Gideon: Winnie, don’t do this to me.
