"There can't be an us."
"Why not?" His brows knitted.
She gazed at him, unable to look away as hurt danced in his eyes.
Finally, she spoke. "I don't want to be held hostage by time."
"There were complications," he replied.

I wonder what she means by hostage of time? Lots of tension in very few words.
ReplyDeleteI like that her head is on straight. I can feel the pain at the no from both of us...but the short little scene is well handled.
ReplyDelete"Complications"? That's probably an understatement, right? And not much of an excuse, from her POV. :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, "held hostage by time" - loved that phrase. And I can't wait to hear what sort of complications they're dealing with. Excellent excerpt!
ReplyDeleteGood dialogue. This exchange seems to touch at the heart of the story conflict. Oh, potential for such heartbreak. :-)
ReplyDeleteComplications... always those pesky complications. Nice snippet.
ReplyDeleteShe seriously have good reasons to push him away. Now I wonder if he can overcome them.
ReplyDelete"There were complications," he replied. I'm curious to know if that is a reason or an excuse...
