Rainbow Snippets*-- More From Blind Ante

For those familar with the GRL Retreat, I'm screwing up my courage and going as an author this year. My goal is to have Blind Ante published by then. And possibly even Cut Shot. But that will be pushing it. I tend to be flashy and over the top, or just the opposite—quiet and trying to not be noticed. And I seem to have little control of which I am at any given time. Let's hope for flashy!

A morning walk on a nice day. It's amazing how it goes from brown to color seemingly overnight. 

This week's snippet continues from last week's, taken from Blind Ante. Someone Jordan never expected to see again has just walked back into his life. Needless to say, things are about to get complicated! 

   “You don’t call, you don’t text. Why, I’m beginning to think you don’t want to see me anymore.” The teasing tone grew harder and lower. “Give us a kiss, Jordy. I’ve missed you.”

Reese interrupted. “Can I get you anything?” 

Jordan’s eyes widened and his chest heaved in panic as he stared up. The bartender gave him a puzzled glance before looking back at the man draped across his back. 

“Yeah, I’ll have what my Jordy's drinking. And get him another.”

Reese met Jordan’s eyes again, not moving away until the kid nodded his head, a small movement meant to assure that everything was fine. Possibly no one else would notice, but Jordan could see the stiffness in Reese’s back and shoulders, the questions piling up but unasked. He sat the beers down and didn’t move away, even though he had customers waiting. 

“Going to introduce your friend?” Reese asked Jordan.

The answer was almost too low to hear over the jukebox. “Reese Daniels, meet Jedidiah Wheeler.” 

“No reason to be so formal.” The man stuck his hand out. “Everyone calls me Jed.”
