Charlotte is shaking. I don't think it's upset, but outrage. James, the tendons in his neck corded tight, is beyond fury. He looks set to breathe fire. In the years we’ve known each other, I have never seen him so angry…
“Just leave us,” he says, his voice is flat and emotionless as he jerks his head to the door. I take the hint. As I leave, James is embracing Charlotte. I'm not sure if he's comforting her or calming her.
Best make myself scarce….
…. At least ‘til they cool down….
Would James turn violent?
That fierce protection he has for her...
If he thought Charlotte was threatened, he wouldn’t hesitate.
Not that Charlotte isn’t perfectly capable of violence herself if it’s needed….
Who’d ever have thought I'd have to protect my wife from my own brother?
