“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!”

Today’s six sentence snippet is from Stumble Forward, a little later in the story than last week’s offering. You can check out all the author’s snippets on the Rainbow Snippets Facebook page.
