It's Six Sentence Sunday and This is the 8th snippet from The Spirit of Love.
If this is your first SSS, here's a quick update: Brynna and Travis lost their son (Jake) due to a tragic accident. Instead of turning to each other they drifted apart. However, they own a Ghost Hunting business and they were scheduled for a night at the Queen Mary. This is the first time they have seen each other in months. In this scene: It takes place a few paragraphs after Snippet 7 left off.
**************************************************************************************************
(A ghost exploding light bulbs isn't going to stop Travis from talking and confronting their problems. Brynna and Travis couldn't be together without being reminded their son was no longer with them. They both did things to hurt each other. Brynna feels cornered and figures if Travis wants to talk. She'll do the talking first.)
Now for the six:
“You had an affair and you broke my heart. End of story.”
“I know.”
She hadn’t expected him to say that. She thought he would deny it, make excuses. “Then why did you do it?”

He does have some explaining to do. This won’t be easy.
Argh. What a horrible place to stop, Karen!
lol- I could only post six sentences. Those are the rules. lol
was the loss of their son what sent him on his fling?
It is only one of the factors. Losing their son set Brynna and Travis on the path that would eventually cause the end of their marriage.
