A Bride for Crimson Falls (2011)
“Scarlett appeared at the table before Colin could respond. She addressed the aged inquisitor with a warning tone. “Mind your manners. Don’t you be giving Mr. Slater the third degree.”
She turned to Colin. “If he hasn’t already introduced himself, this is Geezer Jennings.”
As in “old geezer,” Colin concluded, but didn’t say as much.
“Geezer’s my main man, right Geez?” she added affectionately. “Handyman, dock boy, bartender. You name it, he does it.”
Colin added self-appointed protector to the l...ist as Geezer cast a proprietary eye his way. “We were just getting acquainted.”
“Good,” she said brightly, then to Geezer, added, “Be good, now.” She laid a hand on his shoulder to soften the admonishment before hurrying off to see to the needs of another table.
Geezer pursed his leathery lips and gave Colin the evil eye—something he wasn’t used to. Instead of finding it irritating, he got a kick out of it. It was rare to be the recipient of such candor, and he appreciated it for what it was.MoreLess
