“He’s kind,” Micah said, knowing better than to lie to her.
“He’s wild,” Marion said, “and that means you can’t predict how he’ll act.”
“Have you ever encountered a bear in the forest, Mrs. Beath?” Micah asked, rubbing his finger against one of the love bites.
Marion snorted and said, “No, I don’t go into the woods.”

“And your guardian spirit is like a bear?”
“He’s closer to a bear than a civilized man. In my experience, men who call themselves civilized can be far more dangerous than wild animals.”
