Hiya! I’m glad you survived Valentine’s Day. Don’t forget to celebrate Half Price Chocolate Day today!
If you’re here for The Power of Love Blog Hop, click here to get to my post. You could stick around for the snippet first. If you want to.
This is another snippet from the paranormal—which I found out this week should be called a Contemporary Paranormal. Those are different from Urban Fantasy because in CP the paranormal element isn’t common knowledge.
The Color Story is told in three parts; so far all the excerpts have been from Part One, which is solely from Colin’s POV. This is from Part Two, and that’s all Alonzo’s. (In case you’re wondering, in Part Three they have to take turns.) Let me know what you think (taking into account the creative punctuation to keep it to 8 sentences and the fact it’s unedited, like last week’s).
Setup: Colin just finished his last Final Exam and Alonzo surprised him with a road trip. They’re in the car, each turning the radio to the station the other likes best. The first line is Alonzo’s.
“How long does it take to get there?”
Colin twisted to face him and Alonzo watched as he took a moment to picture him naked. “You drive like an old lady, so at least two hours.”
“How long did it take you?”
Colin squeezed his thigh and laughed. “About two hours.” He punched the radio button closest to Alonzo and the car filled up with Rick Derringer screaming about getting head.
“Lordy mama—seriously?”
“It was a simpler time.”
Colin threw his head back and laughed, long and loud, “Can’t argue that.”
Yeah, no big plot points there, sorry. But it’s still a work in progress. I’m giving myself to the end of March to whip it into shape. 😀
Thanks for reading!

Thanks, Shey! I got the itch to rearrange the furniture. I’ll find out in a couple of weeks if I’ll have the resources for the rest of the changes I want to make. 😀
Loving this!

Thanks for stopping by, ND. With all I put these two through, they need a little fun once in a while. 🙂
Great, easy dialogue. I was right there with them. Yep, I always knew I was a voyeur. 😉
Dialogue shows how happy and carefree they are. Nice.
I like their conversation. I feel as if I’m in the backseat, just listening in…terrific snippet!
The interaction is great. I love to read about the parts and POVs, that must have made for fun writing. I think this is an intriguing approach 🙂
