::waves arms:: I have no time, I am behind on everything so, here is a tiny snippet.
Throws and runs.
My cell rang. I glanced at the number, and a cold spike of anxiety shot through me. “Yes?”
“She will see you today at three,” the polite male voice said.
“Of course.”
“Have a nice day, Ms. Tremaine.”
The screen went dark.
“Who was that?” Alessandro asked.
“My grandmother.” Technically, it was Trevor, one of her assistants, a pitbull in human skin with Harvard education and special forces training.
“I’m guessing, it was your other grandmother, because you’re staring at the phone as if it’s a snake about to bite.”
Wont says
She didn’t seem surprised to hear from that grandmother. She must need something from her. Woo. And she was with Alessandro. That’s a good thing. A very leading snippet. Hmmm……

Yes… It sounds as if she was expecting the call…
Lynn Thompson says
Thank you, Ilona Andrews for the snippet. Hope Brandi has successfully recovered. My local NC tv station was covering flu and new lady was quite enthusiastic about no deaths this week. Grin
DinNC says
“Ms. Tremaine”! I guess her grandmother is requiring use of the name as part of their agreement.
DinNC says
And why is it that pit vipers always look angry?
Alison Parker says
Food for thought!
I echo everyone’s wishes for Brandi’s recovery.
I also wish you and all your family as much joy as you have brought me over the years during the holidays and forever after.
Happy Everything!!

Thank you!

The image of a snake to go along with the snippet about contact with Gramma Tremaine is surely just coincidence, right?
Love it!
Jenni says
Thank you for the shiny, I likes shiny things.

I thought Catalina’s last name was Baylor.
