Chapter 253 Journey To The Border

Chapter 253 Journey To The Border

Quinn blinked. I can handle this myself, Julius. I don’t even know how long I’ll be out there.

I told you I’ll help you find Rowan, and I meant it,Julius said. If that means trekking to the border, then that’s where I’ll be. Or do you really think I’d let my girlfriend wander into danger alone?

Words failed her.

He lifted her hand and traced a slow circle across her palm. Unless you believe I can stomach being miles away from you?

Heat crept up Quinn’s cheeks; after all, Laura and Harlan were still sitting right there.

Laura clicked her tongue. All right, Quinnif Julius is going, I can finally relax.”

Harlan slid two small glasses across the table, one to Quinn. Quinnie, now that we know why Rowan vanished, it won’t be long before we bring him home. That calls for a toast.”

It certainly does,she replied with a smile.

She lifted the glass and downed it in a single swallow.

Harlan raised his tumbler and emptied it in one decisive swallow.

Harlan refilled the glass and said, Another toast, everyone, to Quinnie cutting Trent loose with style. A man like that should never have got a ring from her in the first place.

Quinn said, You two do not need to go that far.

Why?Julius asked. You’re feeling sorry for him?

Not at all,” Quinn replied. He may never come looking. If he does, I will punch him myself. Your fists can stay holstered.

Laura laughed. Well said. A man/like Trent has owed a beating for years.She lifted her glass with gusto.

They kept drinking. For some reason, Harlan sought Quinn’s glass every round, clinking and draining until she had swallowed far more than usual. What began as a simple celebration drifted into Harlan’s stories of their time in the barracks.

Harlan sighed. Those days with you in the barracks were the best of my life.”

Quinn, already pleasantly tipsy, smiled. I used to beat the crap out of you. Don’t tell me you miss this

Every bit of it,” Harlan said, swirling his drink before downing it. I would return in a heartbear, Even if you beat me up every day, I’d still be happy to take it.

Laura clicked her tongue.Happy to take beatings? In all of Blackthorn Capital, Quinn’s the only one who could get him to say something like that. Yet Quinn already had Julius beside her, so Laura felt a quiet pang of pity for Harlan,
