Excerpt:
“Are
you still at the movies? You can finish and meet me at Starbucks when it’s over.”
Jaynee spoke the words nonchalantly as if she couldn’t fathom the notion he had
been waiting all evening to see her.
“Are
you kidding?” he burst out. “I hardly even know what I was watching. I’ll meet
you at the restaurant. You haven’t left yet, right?”
“No,
I have about fifteen minutes. I have a couple—”
“Good.”
He cut off her words. “I’ll come and get you.” He hung up the phone before she
could argue. He didn’t like the idea of her walking out to her car alone. She
was strong-willed and probably never asked for an escort.
How
many calls had he received where a waitress was attacked leaving work? Real-life
predators knew tipped employees walked out with cash money. With Jaynee it was
doubly tempting, as she looked appealing too.

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and commenting, Kelworth.
DeleteGood luck with your books!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anastasia!
DeleteGreat six, Carmen! Foreshadowing perhaps?
ReplyDeleteAlways, Lorraine! When my publisher asks, "Is this part necessary?" My response is usually, "Ummm...yeah, or I wouldn't have put it there." LOL! And then the stuff I said we could cut, she didn't want to because she liked it. So, yes, 110k words of foreshadowing or scenes that are too sweet to cut. Thanks for stopping by. Hope you're doing well and that we'll see your book soon. :)
