Drifters' Alliance, book 3
“I can’t.” Lucinda sounds annoyed and worried.
A male voice responds. “Okay.”
“Don’t say ‘okay’. I know what you mean when you do that. You’re saying okay but you mean it’s not okay.”

I almost giggle with the idea of how much leverage this gives me. With a girl like her, leverage is a very, very good thing. This is the first bit of positive news I’ve had all day. I’m going to put aside the fact that this guy’s basically a stowaway on my ship.
