The following quote is from Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 2, “A Blue Wine Day.” Copyright 2021 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘Blessed Michael defend us,’ said her father in Gaelic, crossing himself. He peered down into the thrashing brush below—Jesus, whatever it was, it was still alive—then up.
‘Weh!’ said an impassioned male voice from above. She didn’t recognize the word, but she did know the voice, and joy burst over her.
‘Ian!’ she called. There was total silence from above, save for the ravens, who were getting steadily more upset.
‘Blessed Michael defend us,’ said a startled voice in Gaelic, and an instant later her cousin Ian had dropped onto their narrow ledge, where he balanced with no apparent difficulty.
‘It is you!’ she said. ‘Oh, Ian!’
‘A charaid!’ He grabbed her and squeezed tight, laughing in disbelief. ‘God, it’s you!’ He drew back for an instant for a good look to confirm it, laughed again in delight, kissed her solidly, and resqueezed.”

[> This reunion was just perfect. I've always loved Bree and Ian's relationship, mostly sibling-like with a little extra zing. I laughed when they then left Jamie to his own devices and went off hunting together. -- DianaH, Wed, October 12 2022, 9:42:34

[> [> Yes!!! Ian’s love for Bri helped me see a more lovable side to her. And just wait until she, Ian and William get together 😳. Hopefully it will be joyous for William too. -- Kathy in PA, Wed, October 12 2022, 14:29:40
