This snippet: Darrin has a proposal.
*****
"Well, since I have your father's
approval, I'd like to explore this between us." He waved a finger back and
forth between them.
She arched an eyebrow, "This?"
"This chemistry, this spark between
us."
Her expressive eyes narrowed in concern. "Darrin,
you are leaving next Saturday, right before Easter. I think we should keep
'this' - she paused and used two fingers on each hand to make quotes when she
said the word 'this' - on a friends - only basis."
"I've been giving that some
thought."

I love the gestures in this snippet!
ReplyDeleteShe's a practical one, she is---I like her. :D
I'm curious about Darrin's thoughts. What does he have in mind for "this?" Good excerpt.
ReplyDeleteHmm, is he going to leave or not? Curiosity peaked.
ReplyDeleteGood for her, putting the brakes on! (Sorry if this is a duplicate comment, Chrome wigged out on me for a minute.)
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying their conversation and of course I want to read the rest of it right away. Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteThis conversation is moving the story very well. Too bad that he's leaving. May I make one suggestion: when she makes quotation marks, perhaps it could be '"she made quotation marks with two fingers on each hand". Just a thought, but I'll leave it up to you. Great snippet!
