Bria came over and hugged me, along with Roslyn, and then the two of them stepped to the side so Finn could get in on the action.
He stopped in front of me, crossed his arms over his chest, and gave me a critical once-over, his green eyes as sharp and bright as emeralds in his handsome face. “You look like hell,” he finally said.
My grin widened. “You should see the other guys.” Finn sighed and opened his arms. “Come on, come on, you know you want to hug me and get blood, mud, dirt, and who knows what else all over my brand-new suit.”
“Why, I thought you’d never ask,” I drawled.

“I thought that I told you to take care of Gin,” Finn said. “Not bring her back half-dead.” His words and his face might have been stone-cold serious, but his tone was light with relief that I’d come back at all.
After a moment, Owen smiled. “Well, I tried, but you know Gin,” he said. “She just had to kill a couple more guys before we finally left.”
Finn returned his grin. “That I do.”

Cooper stopped rocking in his chair, leaned forward, and cleared his throat. “I hate to be rude, but you seem, um, tired, Gin.”
“Tired?” Warren snorted. “What he really means is that you look like a survivor out of one of them zombie movies and almost as dead as one of those critters yourself.”

Finn turned around and stabbed his paintbrush toward her. “I will have you know that I don’t whine about every little thing. I only whine about the important things, my own comfort being chief among those.”
