The following quote is from Seven Stones to Stand or Fall by Diana Gabaldon, “The Space Between.” Copyright©️ 2017, 2013 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“Joan stood stock-still, amazed. Michael’s arm was still around her, but she scarcely noticed.
‘He is!’ she whispered. ‘He truly is! They both are!’
‘Are what?’ Michael gaped at her.
‘Auld Folk! Faeries!’
He looked wildly back at the scene before them. The two men stood face-to-face, hands locked together, their mouths moving in animated conversation—in total silence. It was like watching mimes but even less interesting.
‘I dinna care what they are. Loons, criminals, demons, angels…Come on!’ He dropped his arm and seized her hand, but she was planted solid as an oak sapling, her eyes growing wide and wider.
She gripped his hand hard enough to grind the bones and shrieked at the top of her lungs, ‘Don’t do it!!’
He whirled round just in time to see them vanish.”

[> I loved this story. I'm hoping we see more of Joan & Michael in the future. Future books, that is, not time! (One can never be sure with DG!) -- DianaH, Fri, October 13 2023, 9:37:44

[> [> Lol!! Yes, when Michael put his arm around her waist, supposedly just to steady her…….. but the way Diana wrote it - my antenna went up. And they’re both so sad, it would be nice to see them get happy together. -- Kathy in PA, Fri, October 13 2023, 14:36:56
