Rainbow Snippets* -- Finding the Right Mindset
I'm working on two seperate stories right now, which is not my usual M.O. Normally, I sink myself into one story, into its style and its particular characters. Lindsey's story is meant to be fluff and fun. But with things the way they are, it's hard for me to get into that mindset lately. So I've put more time into my vampire story that I had planned for later in the year. It's a short story with a word goal of only 15k because it'll be part of a collection. But, hey, at least I'm writing!
My snippet this week continues from where I ended last week. It's a conversation between Lindsey and Vaughn from Smoke and Sparks. The previous evening, a very drunk Vaugh had come on hot and heavy to Daryl after the Halloween party, but Daryl had sent Vaughn to bed (with Lindsey). From Vaughn's POV:
“You’re no fun.” (said Lindsey)
“Apparently not,” I agreed as the memory of the night before came back in pieces and bursts. “Oh, shit, I probably blew it, didn’t I?”
“You didn’t blow anything,” she said with that smirk that I usually thought was funny but right at that moment was so very not.
“No, but I really wanted to. Do you think he hates me?”
“Daryl? God no. I think he must love you. No other guy would've turned down what you offered. He could have pulled you into his bedroom and f*cked you until you couldn’t walk straight. But instead, he was a good guy and went to bed alone.”

Wow...a tribute to Vaughn's hotness as well as to Daryl's gentlemanly principles!
