“I told you it was just tentative plans, Richard. Let it go
at that.” Elizabeth knew she had made firm plans to meet
Alex and her mother. She’d have some major explaining to do tomorrow, and oh, how she dreaded it. Without lying she
couldn’t think of any way to make this evening with Richard
sound like anything other than what it was. And she didn’t
make a habit of lying.
Richard surprised her by obediently dropping the subject
of Alex and her dinner plans. “Be it far from me to argue
about Alex Crawford. Are you finished? If you are let’s go to
that amusement park down the beach and have some fun.”
What do you think? Will she go with him or go back home to her fiancé?
What do you think? Will she go with him or go back home to her fiancé?
My money is on her going with him. :)
ReplyDeleteOh dear, if she has to explain, she should maybe break it off with Alex. Good snippet, Elaine. :)
ReplyDeleteOh boy ... I hope she doesn't, but I have a feeling she will. great snippet.
ReplyDeleteI think she should go home. This can't be good. I mean it's one thing to think about breaking your engagement but that's another thing to have to break it because you cheated and if she stays, that's what might happen.
ReplyDeleteShe has to go back - even if it's just to break it off with her fiancé. Anyone who will cheat on a current fiancé will cheat on a future one too.
ReplyDeleteIf she doesn't know what she wants, she should definitely step back and assess.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm betting she'll go with him. :)
What a snippet. I think she will go with him though.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun is it if she doesn't go?
ReplyDeleteGood that Richard knows when to back off. I like his idea of fun! Excellent excerpt...
ReplyDeleteI think she should go - maybe - it could be no strings fun? Hmm, tough one.
ReplyDeleteHer cheatin heart will tell on her. She better make up her mind and fast. Good snippet, my friend.
ReplyDeleteOkay.... If she feels she's caught between lying and avoiding, something is definitely wrong here. If she's smart, she'd probably plead a headache and do neither. But in affairs of love... we're seldom smart.
ReplyDeleteHe's definitely holding out the carrot though
Does anyone know Zoe who posted a comment earlier? I can't find her on either list.
ReplyDeleteI think she should go home. She should break thing off first with her fiance before thinking about moving on.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking if she has to explain...there's more to it than she thinks. :)
ReplyDeleteZoe.... She was/is on the list I did see her blog. That said, I started commenting/visiting before I signed up for the WeWriWa and Snippet Sunday. Maybe she's testing the waters too.
ReplyDeleteTo me it sounds like she currently doesn't want to be around either one of the men in her life.
ReplyDeleteI think her fiancee is going to have a change in plans... and soon. I like how you're having her walk the tightrope.
ReplyDeleteShe needs to give up the fiance that I think she really doesn't love, and give Richard another chance. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou're storytelling must be doing a good job, Elaine. Everyone has an opinion about what she should do, lol. I guess everyone is invested, at least a little bit. :-)
Hmmm... It's not good that she feels she has to hide the nature of the evening somehow. A sign of feelings she has yet to come to terms with?
