Ever since he was a dwarfling, Borlen (nicknamed "Grump") has dreamed of visiting The Surface, so when opportunity knocks, he leaves his cavern home behind. At first, life aboveground is a dream come true. Queen Elfrieda Veronika Ingrid Lenore (E.V.I.L.) is the best friend Grump always wanted, feeding him all the rubies he can eat and allowing him to rule at her side in exchange for magic and information. But as time goes on, Grump starts to suspect that Queen E.V.I.L. may not be as nice as she seems. . . . When the queen commands him to carry out a horrible task against her stepdaughter Snow White, Grump is in over his head. He's bound by magic to help the queen, but also to protect Snow White. As if that wasn't stressful enough, the queen keeps bugging him for updates through her magic mirror! He'll have to dig deep to find a way out of this pickle, and that's enough to make any dwarf Grumpy indeed.

It’s user-related,” Jake said in a bored tone. “No, it’s not!” Emmie said. “It’s that stupid piece of junk ruining my day.” “Man, you really need a reboot,” Jake sighed. “I’m not a man, Jake. And don’t try to blame this disaster on me!” Emmie snorted. The nerve of the man. How dare he talk to her like that? “Have fun, you two,” Irene said quickly. “I’m heading out for lunch. See you later.” She winked at Emmie as she passed her. “Thanks,” she whispered. “Okay,” Jake said as if he tried to regain his patience. “Let’s remove the clutter and start with the obvious.” He stepped closer to her. Emmie eyed him suspiciously. What was he up to now? Without saying a word, he held her waist and lifted her as if she were light as a feather. She felt his body against hers as he pulled her toward him. She gawked at him, suddenly unsure what was happening. But just as quickly, he sat her down at the far end of her desk before turning toward her computer. “I beg your pardon! You could have asked nicely instead of moving me around like furniture.” Emmie spluttered in indignation. She felt like spouting fire at the man. How dare he touch her? And with apparent ease. He’d even called her ’clutter’. How could he? Jake grinned at her, enjoying her indignation. "You took too long." "I hope you strained a muscle. Or hurt your back." Emmie glared at him as she wrapped her arms in front of her chest, gasping for breath at her unexpected treatment. She refused to acknowledge that she enjoyed being swept off her feet by this strong and handsome man. Jake roared with laughter. Emmie had seldom heard him laugh before, and she was momentarily shocked. She liked the sound of his laughter, even though it was at her expense. Jake turned and looked at her, his eyes sparkling with laughter. "Don’t count on it, Miss Precious. With a featherweight like you? I’m not a weak computer geek who can barely lift a mouse." "Says who?" Emmie challenged him. ——————
