Chapter 9
February 2010
Killian woke up first Sunday morning, far earlier than he
expected. Emma looked peaceful, no sign of the emotional turmoil of the last
few hours. He couldn’t describe his anger at the prejudice his precious Swan
faced. He and Liam got a few odd looks, the occasional nasty comment, but most
people saved their ire for Emma. Merlin knew why. She was beautiful,
intelligent, ambitious, loving and, above all, kind. She held her head up through almost everything, almost never
allowing those horrible people see how much their barbs hurt.He loved her so much for it.
