"What, are you interested in being a drinking companion like her?"
Melody Thorne stepped forward again. "As long as you live, I'll have no problem being your drinking companion."
Felix Chandler's eyes lit up, somewhat incredulous.
His thoughts were confirmed the next second when something pressed against his abdomen, making him look down and change his expression dramatically. "What are you doing?"
"You must have heard of accidents with guns," Melody Thorne's finger slid back on the trigger, "Especially among women. It's all too common."
