Setup for this snippet: WIP from Heart and Soul. This is a snippet from my new 'rock star romance' that I'm working on. It's in the very early stages.

The patrons chuckled and he shook his head as he strode over to the end of the bar where George Herman had planted himself after the band had played. The man was in his mid-sixties with gray hair that he kept neat and trimmed. Deep lines etched his face as if he had a hard life. He never said much and kept to himself. He'd come by to listen to the bands and place an order for a cup of black coffee. Maybe he'd add a grilled cheese sandwich to change it up, but nothing else. "Do you want another coffee to go, Mr. Herman?"
He shook his head as he replied, "I'm done for tonight." He stood and reached for his wallet on the bar. "Keep the change," he said and placed a few bills there that were more than enough to cover his bill and then some.

Love to hear your feed back. 🙂
About Heart and Soul...
80s rock star, Haley Rose went missing without a trace on October 31 1988 and was eventually presumed dead. Three decades later, a thirty-year old woman, Rowan Beckett recalls things only Haley Rose would know and she can belt out songs in the same fashion as the missing 80s star. However, Rowan couldn't be the missing rock star since the woman would now be in her fifties. Could Haley Rose have came back reincarnated as Rowan Beckett?

Veronica,
So glad you did.
Hmm, I wonder what is the significance of this guy? You’ve given a vivid thumbnail sketch of him here, he must be important to the story.
He will show up again. 🙂 That’s all I’m saying.
He sounds mysterious. I’m curious about him.
I know he has to be important some how. You have me intrigued. It’s a quiet sort of moment, but there’s currents underneath.
Merry Christmas!
