Chapter One
Last Week
This week: I've skipped a few paragraphs and we pick up the next morning after Liesel and Andy arrive at the place where they expect to find the next set of coordinates.
“Slow down. I think we’re close.”
“I hope...”
“This must be it,” Liesel said, gesturing at a rustic sign that announced the location of the park.
They stopped at the gate, where Andy paid the entrance fee, then they drove inside.
Liesel fell in love with the little park. She saw a campground and general store as they drove through the gate. On the hill behind the campground she saw what looked like a big barn, probably for dancing or concerts.
Dense brush and trees lined both sides of the road, giving way to picnic tables and a swimming area. Oh, and she adored the neat playground near the picnic area. They crossed a little bridge where she saw several children feeding bread to the fish and entered a parking lot near the nature center.

I like how her attitude toward him softened...sort of. Great twists in this book!
ReplyDeleteI like how you show that she does have a softer side, even if it's only temporary.
ReplyDeleteA moment of emotional bliss but I bet it won't last. Loving the way your characters are developing, Elaine!
ReplyDeleteShe's softening. That's good.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very appealing place and I enjoyed the sights along with her. She does seem to have a softer side! Great snippet...
ReplyDeleteYou never said a word about her loving children, yet you conveyed her interest beautifully with the few details you describe.
ReplyDeleteLove the imagery of the place they are entering.
ReplyDeleteI'm falling in love with that park too. Great job describing it!
ReplyDeleteYour description of the park is lovely, it makes me want to have a picnic there. I'm enjoying her softer side, although I'm wondering why she hides it.
