It's Six Sentence Sunday and This is the 7th 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 6 left off.
**************************************************************************************************
(Travis just asked Brynna how much she remembered of that night.)
Now for the six:
“What night are we speaking of?” she asked, although she had a good idea of what he referred to.
“The night you found out about . . .”
“Tanya,” she finished, her voice sounding harsh to her own ears.
Before he could reply, a loud popping sound filled the room, then an exploding blast of glass.
Brynna and Travis hurried out of the dressing room to discover the light fixture mounted on the tile wall was broken. Glass littered the floor like tiny teardrops.
“The spirit is rather excitable,” Travis murmured.
