My sample today comes from my current WIP where we see my hero having some difficulty explaining the name of his farm to a new acquaintance. Rocky is a former professional wrestler.
At the conclusion of
the service, a woman seated nearby made her way to them and held out her hand.
“Welcome to Holy Cross. I’m Wanda Meadows.”
They shook hands with
her. “I’m Rocky Brooks, and this is my fiancée, Aimee Sherwood.”
“Oh, you’re the people
who bought Four Tuna. I read about finding the cemetery and the discovery of
the property’s name. It made the front page of the local paper.”
Rocky shook his head.
“It’s Fortuna, not Four Tuna.”
“Oh, I get it. It’s one
word. Fourtuna.”
“No, Fortuna. For not
four.”
Wanda beamed at Rocky.
“That’s right. Fourtuna.”
Rocky gave up.
Ha-ha...love how the words create such a misunderstanding...the dialogue is intriguing.
