So far in my excerpts from Return Engagement my hero and heroine met on a beach ten years after his father broke them up. They find that all of their old feelings are still there even though she's engaged to another man. They've gone to a carnival together, and now they're walking back down the beach to their cars. He just gave her his jacket to wear and said he liked the idea of her wearing his clothes, like in high school. To end at the place I need to, I'd done a little creative punctuation.

The chilly wind that blew across the moon-drenched water snatched Elizabeth’s laughter away. “Who cares; sometimes it’s nice to be as irresponsible as a teenager.”

Richard tugged on her hand. “Let’s sit down and watch the moon awhile.”

Elizabeth willingly sank into the damp sand and cuddled close beside him; my gosh, the man had muscles she hadn’t known even existed!

“Richard, about this evening...”

“Elizabeth, about Alex...”

“You go first,” Elizabeth urged. Her shoulders marginally relaxed. She wasn’t looking forward to telling him she couldn’t see him again. 

Return Engagement is available at Amazon and at Whiskey Creek Press.
