There’s a grumbling from the crowd that’s gathered, but most of them fade
away at the first sign of real resistance. It doesn’t mean the woman gives
up easily, muttering angrily as she jerks her hand away and heads back to
people who will support her opinions. Tosh sags in relief, her smile for
Owen and Jack brittle and stiff. “Thank god.”
She knows that tonight isn’t going to be easy, not now that so many people
are riled up and looking at her with suspicion. “I don’t suppose they’d let
us leave during an air-raid?”
