Read about Jamie and Claire’s knees in Outlander book:
A cool shadow fell over my heated face and a large pair of hands took firm hold of mine and pulled me to my feet. Jamie took my place on the log, and patted his knee invitingly. “Sit,” he said.
The bed creaked with a shifting of weight and I felt my knees being nudged further apart. “Not as dead as you look, I hope?”
A deeply grateful,
