This snippet: Jocelyn meets Richard under not-so-good circumstances.
*****
"You're limping--" Richard began.
"My father's worse off."
"Jocelyn, please, stop and talk to me -- just for a minute. I need to know you'll be all right." His voice was thick and unsteady.
Jocelyn glanced at Keira. Her friend's expression narrowed with apprehension. Jocelyn couldn't accommodate his request, "I can't - My father needs to go home and I have to look after him."

Were they in an accident?
ReplyDeleteIs she really not interested in the dude?
I think he will need to make another trip and to get her at a better time.
ReplyDeleteTime travel and steampunk, cool!
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to them? Can't wait to find out!
ReplyDeleteSo why can't he talk as they walk (or limp)? Interesting dynamics going on, quite an intriguing snippet!
ReplyDeleteSo what happened? You have me curious.
ReplyDeleteTough stuff... This is really good. A well-captured scene.
ReplyDeletePandamion has broken out! There's been an explosion and Jocelyn's father has been hurt. She's more focused on his needs. Richard's appearance has surprised her.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by all!

ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued to know more. :)
