Gail would have appreciated Grant's appearance at that juncture a whole lot more if he was trying to stop Mack from attacking her rather than trying to stop Gail from defending herself. She couldn't imagine why everyone still treated her like these insane confrontations with Mack were Gail's fault, but it frustrated her to no end. Grant knew Gail's side better than anybody, but still he was more concerned with whether Gail's wand was out than with making Mack get away from her. Gail's nose still burned when she thought of the way their last fight had ended, and she narrowed her eyes at Grant. Scowling, she pressed her wand down into her purse but kept her hand tight around it.

Looks like you've paid for a smart one."

Mack Raelene was an idiot. Gail was as sure of that as she was sure that boys liked boobs. She had it in her mind to dose Mack with the worst possible weapon in her arsenal - Gail was about to ignore her. With Grant right there to make sure that Mack didn't try to kill her again, and with her father within shouting distance in the store, Gail was prepared to walk away and ignore Mack's idiotic remarks.

But then Mack did something that Gail was going to have a hard time forgetting. Mack kissed Grant. And Gail almost lost her lunch. She stopped breathing momentarily and only emitted a nasally whine that grew into a full blown disgusted freak out. Her hands flapped and her face contorted and "Ew! Ew! Ew!" was the most coherent thing that Gail could articulate. Gail honestly did not think she could have been more grossed out if Mack had just rubbed a fistful of armadillo bile in Grant's face. And she wasn't sure whether she would ever be able to let Grant put his mouth on her again. Ever. It was just . . . she was so . . . "Oh! Ew! Ew! Ew!"
