Rainbow Snippets*--Heading South
I'm leaving on vacation is just a few hours. We're taking a cruise out of New Orleans, and then spending a day being tourists in the city after we disembark. I'm both excited and nervous, which always happens before I leave on a trip. But it's good–I've needed a break!
This week's snippet is from my WIP, Delicious. While Grady has spoken on the phone with the man refurbishing his house, this is the first time they've met in person. Naturally, Hanson embarrasses himself. Told from Hanson's POV:
“I’m Grady Martin. We’ve spoken on the phone.” He smiled as
he took my hand. From a distance I would have thought he was in his mid-twenties, but close up I could see the lines forming around his eyes and mouth.
They weren’t deep, as if he didn’t smile often. If that was true, it was a
pity, because his smile was devastating.
I returned his smile. “We’ve more than spoken on the phone. You’ve basically been my sugar daddy for the last two months!”
Grady’s eyes opened wide as his eyebrows lifted, and I replayed what I’d just said. Sugar daddy? “Oh, kill me now. I’m just going to walk over there and bang my head on a tree.” My face was burning, and I dropped my chin to my chest in embarrassment. Which didn’t help because, looking down, I saw I was still holding his hand.
