If you’re new to Rainbow Snippets, it’s a Facebook group where authors of LGBTQ fiction post a six-sentence snippet (or there abouts) from a WIP, a published story, or a recommendation, every weekend. You can see all the snippets here.

Welcome to February! This week… a little (slightly long-ish) something from The Legacy out now. Here, Asher and Manny start getting reacquainted as they take the wagon into town.

“What did you mean earlier? When you said that I’d made my feelings clear on the matter?”
Asher looked startled at the non sequitur. “Oh. I suppose…well, I think your exact words were, if I were your mate I’d throw myself into the ravine rather than spend another moment with you. Or words to that effect.”
“I did not say that,” Emmanuel whispered, mildly horrified at himself and half hoping it was one of Asher’s jokes.
Asher chuckled and picked at the seam of his pants. “Oh, I assure you, you did. But it was a long time ago. I’m not surprised you don’t remember.”
“But you remembered it.”
Pulling down the brim of his hat, Asher closed his eyes and looked ready to take a nap. “Yeah, well. You’re kinda hard to forget, Manny.”
