Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3367

Shiloh said, "I have something very important to take care of right now. Andrew, if the only reason you tracked me down was to ask me pointless questions like these, then I have nothing more to say to you."

A flash of something dangerous crossed Andrew's eyes. His grip on her hand tightened as he said, "Shiloh, you haven't changed at all. You're still just as stubborn and self-righteous as ever.
