Rainbow Snippets*-- Beginnings
I've finished my edits so now I'm doing a final read through of all three books that make up the Headphones trilogy, searching for those always elusive typos. The goal is to have it ready to publish by the end of the month. Fingers crossed!
From book 3-- Fall Out. Richard doesn't know what happened between Scoey and Jay (and yes, it was a bit dramatic) but thank goodness Richard has Bets to talk it through with. Part 3 of 3. (part 1, part 2):
Richard focused on
the thick patchwork quilt beneath them, tugging at a loose string. “It was
obvious.” He could still picture the two standing in the hallway, both soaking
wet. The bathroom was a mess with water pooled across the tile and towels
scattered in sodden heaps. He’d drained the tub and mopped the floor while
Scoey took care of Jay. Whatever happened, it wasn’t pleasant. “I feel stupid
that I didn’t see it before.”
“Are you okay with
it?” Bets asked as she took his hand. The concern on her face was entirely for
him. It wasn’t the gossip she was interested in. She cared and that outweighed
any need to say, "I told you so".
“I have to be.
It’s strange, that’s all. But it’s good, isn’t it? I mean, I think it’s good.
Scoey should have someone.”
Bets gave his hand
a squeeze. “Yeah, babe. It’s good.”
