Welcome back to Six Sentence Sunday! Thank you for taking time out of your busy Sunday to stop by my blog. I really appreciate it and your comments.
Today I'm offering a snippet from my newest WIP, an as yet untitled romantic suspense about Detective Cassie Tucker and P.I. Jack Pierce. In this snippet, Cassie is having a rough day and she remarks she can't take much more. Jack and her partner Daniels are teasing her with Star Trek's Scotty and Captain Kirk. The first line is Jack's.
“She’s all droopy and sad. She hasn’t had a drink in
weeks, and her lower extremities are startin’ to mold to the plastic chair.”
While Jack’s fake Scottish accent cracked her up,
his last statement irked her. “Are you saying I have plastic chair butt, Jack?”
A pregnant pause swelled into place as the men
exchanged trepidatious glances.
“You’re on your own
there, Pierce,” Daniels said.I love it when guys get nervous. Thanks so much for stopping by. There several very good authors on the Six Sentence Sunday list and a few of my favorites are Cara Bristol, Dianne Hartsock, Goran Zidar, Zee Monodee, Karla Doyle, Gem Sivad, and Sarah Ballance.
I also want to mention the winners of the When Darkness Falls Blog Hop and Giveaway!

Congratulations to you both! Thanks so much for participating and happy reading. :)
"plastic-chair butt" I LOVE this! haha
ReplyDeleteLOL Nice six! :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm, suggesting that her butt isn't toned, tight and tantalizing is a BIG mistake. *nods* He should be nervous. lol
ReplyDeleteLOL. Cute six. :)
ReplyDeleteThe banter really reveals their friendship.
ReplyDeleteLol, he dug his own grave there, innit? :) Thanks for the mention, sweetie XOXO
ReplyDeleteHe might have done better to say her lower extremities are starting to stick to the plastic chair. Plastic chairs are terrible that way.
ReplyDeleteI love banter between good friends and it shows in this snippet. Good job!
ReplyDeleteShe's gonna blow "Scottie" out the airlock for that comment. Great banter!
ReplyDeleteLove the banter! Great job!
ReplyDeleteYou've got to love those moments when a man talks himself into a corner. Great six!
ReplyDeleteOoops! Jack better do some fast talking! Love this six. :)
ReplyDeletehaha! Busted!! Love it when a woman busts a guy's chops--sets up some really delicious tension.
ReplyDeleteLOL, now get out of that one, Jack. Great banter!
ReplyDeleteLOL! What a foot in mouth moment! I would've had the same reaction. Super six!
ReplyDeleteVery funny dialogue. Love the last line. Good six Siobhan!
ReplyDeleteI love the set up for this. It's a moment in time that could surely happen and is so familiar, yet still hilarious. Excellent six, Siobhan. Can't wait to hear more about this!
ReplyDeleteThey should know you don't discuss a woman's butt in front of her... :-) silly move boys... silly move.
ReplyDeleteGreat banter, very funny!
ReplyDeleteOh there's nothing better than watching a man's mouth get him into trouble. :) Great six.
