I've been sharing excerpts from Return Engagement. To recap, my hero and heroine have met accidentally on a beach ten years after his father broke them up. In today's excerpt, my hero displays great self-confidence.
“Have
dinner with me tonight,” he urged. “We have ten years of
catching up to do.”
Elizabeth felt a flicker of unease; she shouldn’t accept his invitation. Her heart belonged to a wonderful man, a man she didn’t want to hurt by going out with Richard. Richard belonged to her past, and that’s where he needed to stay; in the past. No good could come of a dinner date now. For a split second she hesitated. “I’d love to have dinner with you."

Oh, I don't things are quite over between them. :)
ReplyDeleteTo use your words...
ReplyDeleteShe shouldn't, but she did. No good is going to come of this!
Oh dear, no willpower where he's concerned? I sense trouble!
ReplyDeleteI love her inner struggle and then she doesn't listen to herself ... well done.
ReplyDeleteGreat eight lines! Hah!
ReplyDeleteSo there is still some emotions going on there for sure.
ReplyDeleteI don't think he's staying in the past now. Great snippet, Elaine. :)
ReplyDelete:-)
ReplyDeleteInteresting internal conflict she's having. Enjoyed the excerpt!
ReplyDeleteHmm. Trouble's afoot. She's not going for dinner because she's hungry for food. Really. Now I'm worried. Good eight.
ReplyDeleteThat one dinner seems like it'll become a lot more complicated than expected!
ReplyDeleteOh that moment when the head gives you all the reason to not do something and you go and do it anyway. Nice!
