First post of the year!! Continuing where we left off – well, not exactly but close enough – another six-ish sentences from Stumble Forward. Catch all the other snippets from lots of great authors on the Facebook page
…..
“Go home, Alec.” Stella slid out of the booth, dragging her coat behind her. Alec sat up, and started to protest but she shook her head. “Go home! It’s-” she checked her watch, “Christ, it’s one in the morning. I have to drive back to Dallas in a few hours.” She shoved her arms roughly into the sleeves of her coat, freeing her long hair from the collar with the flick of both wrists. “Go home to your giant and talk to him! I’m back in town with Mark in a couple of weeks. I’ll call you and let you know when, and then the four of us can go out and have a very awkward, very expensive dinner…on you! You owe me!”
Great touch with the hair. (I have long hair — it’s so annoying with a coat!) I’d love to know what led up to that scene.
Thank you! (Me too! Drives me crazy sometimes) Well, this will get published, one way or another, so hopefully you won’t have to wait too long : ) x
I get the sense that she’s run out of patience and he may be making a big fuss out of nothing. I love the energy that comes with her words and actions.
She knows him better than most so, yeah! : ) Thanks for the lovely comment x
excellent description of her impatience…:)
Thank you! And thank you for commenting x
Great snippet! I could feel her frustration with him.
Thank you, Charley! : ) x
Wonder why she’s so impatient with him. Makes me want to know more about the dynamics of these two.
Thank you so much! I’m so happy you want to know more x
I think I like Stella. Her emotions come through well in this.
She’s another side character that people seem to really like. I must be doing something right : ) Thank you for the comment! X
Great tension and emotion! 🙂
Thank you, Hunny! : ) x
This scene just feels so real. I like the way this is written, and I’m curious about this giant Alec is supposed to go home and talk to!
I’m so happy you like it…and want to know more. Thank you for the comment x
Well that told him. I really like Stella.
She is kinda direct : ) I think that’s why people seem to like her. Thank you for the comment x
