Defiance

~Caution or Not?~
Logan seems to sense my intentions because he slides his hands onto the small of my back, presses gently, and says, “Remember, sometimes diplomacy is the better side of warfare.”
The heat of his hand feels like tiny sparks racing through me. “Diplomacy is a lot easier to accomplish if you’ve got your foe on his knees hoping you don’t lop of his head.”
“Do you really have to go into every situation with nothing but your wits and your knife?” he asks.
“Do you really have to go into every situation with more caution than a grandmother crossing Market Square?”
