Welcome, Sixers! Thank you so much for stopping by for my Six Sentence Sunday snippet. I realize there are a lot of authors on the Six Sentence Sunday list, so I'm doubly grateful you've taken the time to stop by mine.
Today I'm continuing my romantic suspense WIP developed from #flashfiction while I wait for my upcoming release Queen Bitch of the Callowwood Pack. This snippet about Detective Cassie Tucker and PI Jack Pierce is a little further on in the story and came from the following photo prompt. He needs a place to clean up and she hasn't had breakfast yet. She took him home and is cooking eggs while she finds out why he's shown back up in her life.
“What are you really doing here, Jack?”
“What, no pleasantries this
morning, Cas? No kiss for old times’ sake?”
She tried not to crush the egg she held as she growled, “No, so just tell me why you’re here.”
“To marry you.”
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that... LOL There are several favorite authors of mine on the list and a few of them are Zee Monodee, Goran Zidar, Cara Bristol, Dianne Hartsock, and Gem Sivad. Thanks so much for stopping by and happy reading! :)
What!? I can totally understand her reaction to his statement. Great six! :)
ReplyDeleteLucky she was only holding his eggs! Jack's taking a lot for granted. Nice six.
ReplyDeleteI nearly snorted coffee when that egg broke! Thanks for posting the blog hop badge. It looks good on black :)
ReplyDeleteOh...your cover for Queen Bitch...I recognized the guy. It bothered me for a moment, then I remembered! http://mariesexton.net/book-list/between-sinners-and-saints
He was almost used for another of Marie's covers, but it didn't make the cut in the end.
Wow - such arrogance! LOL. I love her reaction! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! I love his answer and her response. What the heck is going on?
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone could read this and not smile. Then they will want to read more. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI was not expecting a proposal! Ah, love the exploding egg. Fun visual. Nice!
ReplyDeleteLOL I don't think anyone was expecting the proposal, especially not her. Love the imagery here, I'd have broke the egg too!
ReplyDeleteThat's not the way to open the conversation. He should be happy she didn't throw the egg at hime instead, quickly followed by the pan she would fry it in. Can't wait to see how this is resolved.
ReplyDeleteAwesome reaction, brilliant!
ReplyDeleteTerrific scene! One of my favorite Six Sunday posts. Love the exploding egg!
ReplyDeleteTerrific six. Love the exploding egg. One of my favorite Six Sunday posts.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great scene. Even without the pic I can "see" her reaction.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for her verbal response! Great imagery!
ReplyDeleteWow that's some proposal, lol. Is the exploding egg because she wants to land one on his jaw, or kiss him, lol
ReplyDeleteGreat, I love this! Her reaction is superb, shown and not told, therefore it has huge dramatic effect.
ReplyDeleteLMAO! There's no way this won't be a totally entertaining read with those two at it! (BTW, this reminds me of when one of my boys was about three. I was getting ready to buckle him into his car seat when I noticed his pockets bulged. When I asked what he had in his pockets, he pulled out EGGS he'd collected from the hen house. ARGH!)
ReplyDeleteAwesome six! So very unexpected.
ReplyDeleteThe nerve! Next egg lands in the face... Great six!
ReplyDeleteOh, lovely! Great last line, great shocking declaration. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteWell, now! That would be a surprising declaration! Enjoyed!
ReplyDeleteThis just begs the reader to stay tuned and see where it goes!
ReplyDeleteI loved her reaction :)
ReplyDeleteCareful she doesn't throw the eggs at you, Jack! Great six. Showed her outrage just perfectly. :)
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling he doesn't know her as well as he thinks he does.
ReplyDeleteOh. My. God! Now that's a shocker!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, that's quite the reason, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteLove the egg-crushing. :)
Lol. Great six!
