This snippet: Lily and Drake talk about Christmas.
*****
"Growing up, we
always had apple pie on Christmas Eve."
Drake walked forward,
stopping before her. White string lights sparkled on the tree, sending soft
shadows over his cheeks. The doormen were escorting guests
to their cars.
"What makes me
believe it's Christmas is light." His voice was low and purposefully
seductive, and his nearness made her senses spin.
"Light? I don't
understand."

Interesting, I'm intrigued and can't wait to find out what "light" means.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get her remark about Christmas being light, but I'm curious to find out more just as he is. Nice hook at the end!
ReplyDeleteOk I'm intrigued! Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteI agree with her, I don't understand, isn't there too many verbs in the "It's Christmas is light" sentence?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one that had to read this line ("What makes me believe it's Christmas is light.") a couple of times to sort it out.
ReplyDeleteI love the description here, though: White string lights sparkled on the tree, sending soft shadows over his cheeks. The doormen were escorting guests to their cars.
Can't wait to hear his response. Lovely snippet, Stephanie!
ReplyDeleteActually I love his comment about light making the holidays. I adore all the colored lights at this time of the year an even if that was't what your character has in mind, I'm still happy. Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteNice way to show their different views of Christmas.
ReplyDeleteChristmas is definitely about light. And lights. And something tells me her head is spinning and feels light after that seductive swooning : )
ReplyDelete"purposefully seductive" hmmmmm :-)
