Continuing with an excerpt from my book Fiendish and I'm picking up again with that. The excerpt picks up in the middle of chapter 3 and I will continue til the end of the chapter.
In the previous installments, Calida and Seth have seen each other again for the first time since their initial meeting. Calida's friend Macy has invited Seth to have dinner with them, only to ditch Calida once they arrive at the restaurant. We pick up with Calida trying to figure out what to do on this impromptu date.
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4
Her phone buzzed, bringing the screen to
life. The reply from her friend popped up instantly before she could block it.
live
a little. :)
A small grin tugged at the corner of her
mouth when she read it. Taking a deep breath, she slid the phone into her
pocket then looked up at me.
“I would enjoy having lunch. Dinner?
Linner? Oh my goodness, did I just say linner?” Calida asked, giggling.
“Yes, I believe you did,” I replied,
laughing as well. “Guess it makes sense, after all there is brunch.”
This is cute. Glad she's going to take her friend's advice : )
ReplyDeleteYeah she is, gonna get outside that box she lives in.

Seems the ice is breaking a bit! Can't wait to see where it goes. I've added Fiendish to my TBR because your 8s have me intrigued!
ReplyDeleteYep, she's trying to be a little less uptight. Hopefully it'll pay off. And thanks for adding it. I bought your box set while it was on sale. Once you get a chance to read, hope you enjoy it.

Nice set up by Macy! The cover really has me wondering about the book. Good 8!
ReplyDeleteLOL yep. Macy hopes it will work out for Calida. Glad you like the cover, the artist did a good job capturing the feel I wanted for the story.

Calida seems to be loosening up a bit, nice. Seth seems like a gentleman. This might be a pleasant "Linner", lol.
ReplyDeleteshe's trying to and Seth is currently being on his best behavior. :) It should be a very pleasant linner LOL
Deletethanks for stopping by.
Such a simple, perfect piece of advice. Live a little...and enjoy some linner while you're at it! :D Great job!
ReplyDeletethe best advice is often times simple. Macy wanted her to not be so scared of life and Calida is out to make changed in hers so she's taking the plunge, sorta with this unplanned linner date LOL
