The minute they left the building the wind assaulted them.
“My teeth are ch…ch…chattering,” Marley stuttered.
Mentally crossing his fingers for luck, Rob put his arm
around her and hugged her close. “It’s only a little way to the
theater.”
Marley was either too cold to mind, or she really didn’t
mind, because she didn’t move away from him. By the time they
reached the theater, Rob felt as warm as toast, and it didn’t have a
thing to do with the weather. She felt so small, so feminine,
snuggled into his side. His arm tightened around her as he
breathed in her warm female scent.
Blurb:
Being dumped by your gorgeous fiancé is bad enough no matter when it happens, but he did it at Christmas time! Marley thinks she’ll never get over it, but Rob Travers disagrees. He sets out to win Marley’s heart, well aware that when she finds out about his past, she may turn her back on him forever.

Hmm... weather wise it seems like they could be in Michigan. I like the way you mixed melancholy and sweetness in this snippet. It's not always easy to blend the two. Very well done.
ReplyDeleteRob seems to be asking for trouble but it's nice to have someone around for Christmas.

ReplyDeleteThe gods must be smiling down on him and granted the blessed wind to blow and chill the air. Sure gave him the perfect excuse to draw her near. Loved the 8!
