"I asked Elaine if you were bringing a date tonight, but she said no…"
"Millicent, please don’t tell me you want to fix me up with somebody."
Millicent laughed as though he’d said something hysterical. "Of course I do. You’re one of the country’s most eligible bachelors, but you hardly date at all. Anyway, you’ll like this woman. I met her a few weeks ago when Vivian Turner had a launch party for that new artist, what’s his name, Peter Hamilton. She’s Peter’s cousin. She’s pretty too."
Hank made a mental note never to come here again.

Run, Hank! Run! :D
ReplyDeleteUnless it's Kathryn?
Interesting, I'm also wondering if the mystery woman will be Kathryun...intriging snippet!
ReplyDeleteIs it bad that I had to laugh? I make so many mental notes about people to avoid in the future that i end up forgetting why I'm avoiding them.
ReplyDeleteGreat post and I hope Hank can escape.
I'm intrigued. Who is the mystery woman? Kathryn?
ReplyDeletehy do ,,,peope have such a desire to "fix other people up?
ReplyDeleteWow, Hank really doesn't want to be fixed up, does he? Well, can't say that I blame him. Fun snippet!
ReplyDeleteAh yes, the matchmakers. Many have ulterior motives. Great snippet. :)
ReplyDeleteAwkward moment for him. No wonder he's making a mental note not to go back there again. Hope Hank can get out of there - fast!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely be running in the opposite direction. Good wording to make us feel his awkwardness due to these matchmaking attempts.
ReplyDeleteEither the woman he's being fixed up with is the woman of his dreams (despite his reluctance) or she is going to be truly horrid. Awesome tension in this snippet :) Thanks for sharing :)
