Someday, I want to watch a superhero movie where the woman takes off out the window at the sound of sirens and the man is left behind to worry.
How funny you should say that. Here's a small excerpt from my second (as yet unpublished) book:
“How am I supposed to just stand here while she’s in danger?” Saffron demanded. He looked slightly defiant and he probably felt like the odd man out.
“Saffron, she can make the ground swallow her enemies. She can shield and start fires and throw lightning. She’s not in danger,” Vara assured. “The soldiers might be though.”
“When you love a strong woman, you have to expect there will be moments when you get to be the damsel in distress,” Oamir supplied. It earned a chuckle from most of the group and a grin from Vara.
“He’s right. You can’t always fly off to rescue her. Otherwise you spend a week banned from your tent,” Yarrow added, trying to lighten the mood. Hickory, Rissa, Pepper and Thorn laughed loudly. Ysa rolled her eyes.
