Hola Snippetteers!
Here’s another bit from SB, it picks up right where last week’s left off. We’re still in Ezra’s POV, so the “he” is Red. The usual caveat to squint while reading (and ignore the creative punctuation :)) applies.
He always wore nice button-down shirts, in videos or going to the Mini Mart in Drop—jewel-tone red, purple, black—that looked like silk.
“Where are you headed?”
“Nowhere, just out driving.”
Even in the dark I could see his brilliant smile; he probably paid good money for that whiteness. I couldn’t see his long black hair or whether he was clean shaven or had that short patch of beard he sometimes wore on his chin, but the smile did me in on its own.
“Where are you headed out here on foot in the middle of the night?” Red asked.
“Home.” A few steps closer won’t hurt. Maybe.
Thanks for reading, and for the “on sub” luck! *fingers still crossed*
Let me know what you think in the comments, and then head over to the Snippet Sunday group on Facebook for links to more snippets!
Somehow Red sounds dangerous.
Depends on how you’re defining dangerous. 😉
Thanks for reading, Linda!
Wow, you really managed to hook me with just a few sentences. Can’t wait to read more, and good luck with your sub!
Thanks, Joyce! ❤
I like the ‘feel’ of this snippet and definitely want to read more!
Thanks, Veronica! I’ll be posting from this story until i hear back from my editor so there should be another couple of weeks coming. 🙂
Im hooked in just those few lines. I’m loving it.
Thanks, Cecilia! 🙂
Won’t hurt … or will it ?? But he knows him, right ?
Oh, and fingers are still crossed.
I want to see that smile again! Intriguing snippet. 🙂
Love that last line! I’m still curious/intrigued about the relationship between these two.
