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.
Last week : Rowan had a difficult time keeping her attraction at bay.
This is Rowan's POV.

"Everything looks great," she voiced lamely and glanced away as if she were checking out the apartment further. At least the farce seemed to deafen the awkward silence and she was able to regroup. The apartment wasn't a big place or fancy but she didn't need much. Never had.
"I could help you bring up your things," he offered.
"I'll manage, but thanks," she voiced hastily.
Silence loomed again.
"Okay then." He handed her the keys to the place. "I'll see you in the morning."

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?

Good job of writing the awkward silence.
“…but she didn’t need much. Never had.” That really made me wonder about her. Does she know she’s been reincarnated–or is back from the dead???
Teresa,
I’m so glad you caught that. It was an important line. 🙂 But you’ll have to wait a see what it all means. 🙂 I know I’m rotten. lol
Ooh, the awkwardness of the moment comes through so clearly in your snippet (yet not at all awkward for us to read LOL) – so well done. Another interesting excerpt in the story, can’t wait for more!
Veronica,
I’m glad the awkwardness came through without it being awkward to read. lol
Aww is she just gonna let him leave? 🙁
Amy,
May she will tonight…
LOL! This whole dialogue simply oozes awkwardness!
Botanist,
Fantastic!
Oh so much underlying tension in this snippet. Is he just going to leave it at that and walk out?
Hywela,
You’ll have to wait and see. 🙂
Interesting glimpse of backstory- I wonder why she never needed much?
Christina,
To be continued. 🙂
Awkward – parting again?
Aurora,
He isn’t gone yet.
Now you’re just teasing us with juicy tidbits. For shame, Karen. I’m intrigued…
Nancy,
So glad you are.
I’m sure he’ll have many more chances to interact with her, and he’ll look forward to each one.
Ed,
He hasn’t left yet. 🙂
She’d probably have more daydreams about him if he helped with bringing up her things! The awkward silence is palpable.
Carrie-Anne,
Probably. lol
Oh nicely done to emphasise the awkwardness between them. Enjoyed the snippet.
Omg the awkwardness. LOL. You portrayed it so perfectly. Nicely done.
