This makes his smile widen. “And that’s why I like you.”
Mina snorts. “When you wake up with your guts spilling out of you, I’m going to say I told you so. Ferals only know how to deal with blood and bullets, and that’s all they’ll get from me. She’ll have a bullet in her brain and I’ll be long gone, guts intact.”
I like this one. At least, when she wants to kill me, I know how to handle her.

It’s not quite the end of the scene, but thought that was a good place to stop while still giving a good impression of their personalities 🙂 I have one more post planned before my break. Thank you so much for reading, and look forward to your posts as always. Happy 8sunday!

It sounds to me as if he likes a challenge. I wonder how “matched” the two of them really are. Good 8.

I take it the POV is switched here? I was reading through this like it was from Mina’s POV, lol. This feels like a good set-up for romance. I don’t know if that will actually happen, but the whole frenemy dynamic is good for some added conflict. It tends to be boring if your characters always get along. I like Mina. She sounds like she has no problem kicking butt and taking names 8D It’s always good to know how someone would go about killing you XD
