Happy Wednesday! I’m trying to get back to doing these. My doctor and I are still working on figuring out my health issues. I’m following up with the rheumatologist in about a month, and then with my doctor after that. He has a long-term plan for getting me a proper diagnosis. I can’t tell you how amazing it is to finally have someone who is listening and problem-solving rather than slapping me with a diagnosis before digging deeper.
I’m still (very slowly) working on Minuet. I did manage to write a short story for Valentine’s Day, which you can read here.
Today’s snippet follows from last time, a little farther on in Amelia and Jomari’s date. He speaks first here, and he’s about to tell her something.
WIPmath: 2/27/2019 = 27 = 2 + 7 = 9 paragraphs.
“So…I’m thinking you want to know why I asked you to meet up.”
Amelia had been, but she played it cool. “We haven’t had a lot of time to talk since summer.”
He chuckled and leaned in to whisper, “You mean since we spent the night screwing like bunnies?”
“That too.”
“You should know that I, uh, went home with Mack the other night. Your friend.”
“I know who Mack is!” Amelia laughed, covering—she hoped—her surprise. Though now she thought about it, was it really so shocking? The guys had gone out to see Cian at the bar. Jomari was Cian’s fiddler and his friend. Jamie was away, and Mack had been lonely. She couldn’t be sure whose idea it was, but it did make some sense they’d try to set Mack up. Of course, they probably didn’t know it wouldn’t go anywhere but the bedroom.
“It’s not weird for you?” Jomari still hadn’t touched his sandwich, and now he fidgeted with his cup.
“Not really. I don’t think our one night together gives me some kind of claim on you, does it?”
“Well, no, I guess not.” Was that disappointment in his voice?
Like what you read? Be sure to check out the other entries and add your own. Just post a bit of your WIP, connect it to the date, and link up with us. Many thanks to Emily Wrayburn for giving us this space. Happy reading and writing!
Glad to see you back! I hope you can figure something out about your health issues. And I love the snippet! 🙂
Aww, this is an honest, vulnerable moment…glad things are going better with your current doctor. (hugs)
So glad to see you back, and glad that things are in the works. It’s two steps forward and one step back some days.
Jomari acts rather disappointed. Maybe he wasn’t expecting such openness?
