Excerpt
Rumi jumps up, jumps back. Her calf hits the log, and she squawks as she starts to lose her balance.
Jinu reaches for her, pulls her straight into his chest. “You know,” he says, voice low and rumbling against her ear, “I was expecting a hug this time, actually.”
Rumi flushes; she shoves him back—carefully, a mere arm’s length—and stares at him. Gat on, colorful jeogori, black baji, and shoes… all the makings of a proper young lord. He stands taller than her, arms clasped behind his back, face smooth. Proud of himself.
She hits his arm.
