Chapter 20 of "Switchblade Romance" is ready for reading. I'm almost done with this bad boy...I honestly didn't expect it to be this long (it's a novel at this point), but the Muse is speaking to me and I'll keep on until she's done...which I am 85% sure that she will be with one more chapter.
“I understand that Shantreyl is your sister and you have a dynamic. But as long as I’m with her—and I intend to be until death do us part—don’t you ever talk to her like that again. I don’t give a good goddamn about anyone’s feelings at this table except hers, and this is the second time you’ve disrespected her in front of me. I will not put up with it. You’re here on my dime at her request, so the least you can do is show her some respect. If you find that you can’t do that, then you are welcome—even encouraged—to leave my hotel immediately and find your own way back home.”
