Welcome to Sunday Snippet and Weekend Writing Warriors, your chance to sample snippets from such great authors. My snippet today comes from my current WIP titled Flood. This snippet takes place where I left off last week with a rejected suitor showing up at my heroine's house to see what she and my hero are up to. They almost got into a fist fight, but my heroine prevented it. Ignore the creative punctuation, but if you see anything I should work on, let me know.
What
was Jason thinking; they’d never been involved in a romantic relationship. They
were friends, nothing more than friends; it didn’t make sense for him to be
jealous of Caleb.
Caleb
moved to her side. The cold challenge in his eyes had been replaced by a warm,
caressing expression. “Why’d you do that?”
“Er,
do what?”
“Pick
me again.”
Aria
sighed.
the question is, did she really pick him? ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be interesting to hear how Caleb interprets the events as her picking him...
ReplyDeleteYeah I wonder, maybe she is going to answer that she was drunk and made a mistake, haha.
ReplyDeleteThe plot thickens. He can twist things to his advantage... :-) Good 8, Elaine. :-)
ReplyDeleteI want to hear the response! Great Snippet.
ReplyDeleteMen. Honestly. :D
ReplyDeleteI love that final sigh. If I were her, I'd call it a day.
Great snippet, Elaine!
Trapped! Or is she? You have me wondering what's going on and I love it. Thanks, Elaine.
ReplyDeleteGreat 8! Loved the final sigh!
ReplyDeleteOh man, a cock fight. Sheesh. I think now is a good time for her to tell him to go home for a bit. Great snippet, Elaine.
ReplyDeleteYes, Aria, why LOL? Enjoying the story very much and I hope she explains herself to him soon! Great 8...
ReplyDeleteGotta love that sigh. You have me intrigued to know more.
ReplyDeleteI would like to know as well ... and did she indeed 'pick' him. Well done, can't wait to read more!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing how she responds. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I like it!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious as to what her response will be.
Only one thing threw me out of the story was the use of the word "caressing" when describing his expression. It seems like a tactile action, not a visual one. Other than that, this is a great snippet. Can't wait to see what happens next!
