This week’s 56 come from Ravished by a Highlander by Paula Quinn. (I’ll be doing this a bit different as 1 line just isn’t enough. The 5th line will be in bold, all the rest in regular fonts.)
She needed to eat something besides berries, but there was no time to hunt. He prayed they were not followed. “If we ride hard,” he told them all, stepping out from behind the tree, “we can reach Ayrshire in a few hours.”

“I will be fine.” She offered him a quick smile then turned away.
Rob stared after her for another moment, cursing the effect her most casual smile had on him.
