Twirl and Dip (WIP) Drake's POV
"Yes!" the audience drawn-out and deafening reply came again.
Yes!" the audience drawn-out and deafening reply came again.
"Then let's get the party started!" He sang an old-time favorite of the fans, one of the first songs he'd written. He remembered playing it for Eastyn Mackenzie on his old beat-up guitar. He grew up with her. They swung on the old tire swing when they were kids and became best friends. Eastyn had been the first to hear his songs he wrote back then. She'd been the first for a lot of things.
When he was alone, which wasn't often, but when he managed the feat, his thoughts turned toward her, making him wondered how life had treated her. Did she manage to find the happiness he failed to give her?
Possible Blurb:
Eastyn has her soda shop to run and specialty ice creams to create. Only the place is falling apart, and she may have a haunted jukebox that chooses songs to communicate. If things couldn't get any more complicated, Drake, her ex-fiancé, returns home after five years on the road with his rock band, Never Mind the Damage.
Eastyn vows not to fall for Drake's charms again, but when you have a lifetime of memories with the man, the heart seems not to care about pledges. Her haunted jukebox believes choosing the right song to twirl and dip to is the answer to everything. However, Eastyn isn't convinced. She wants to know if Drake is home for good, or will he break her heart all over again?

Her dreams were a song from a previous life. To truly live again, she followed the melody home.
80s rock star, Haley Rose, and her boyfriend went missing without a trace on October 31, 1988, and were eventually presumed dead. Three decades later, thirty-year-old, Rowan Beckett, recalls things only Haley Rose would know, and she can belt out songs in the same unique fashion. However, Rowan couldn't be the missing rock star since Haley would now be in her fifties. Could Haley Rose have come back reincarnated as Rowan Beckett? Or is Rowan as delusional as her family suspects?
It’s sweet that he still thinks of her. Curious to know what happens when they see each other again.
Jessica,
It will prove interesting.
Nice backstory tying them together. Looking forward to more!
Glad you enjoyed the backstory.
He seems to think about her more than he believes. She’s still got a heartstring tied to him, I think.
Jenna,
Yes, he is. She may be thinking a bit about him, too.
His emotions and his memories are all over the place roght now, which makes for a lot of enjoyable reading. Great snippet1
Veronica,
He’s at a point that he’s not sure what he wants.
Bitter sweet memories of his childhood and youth. Where is she now?
Aurora,
She’s back home, running her business. She’s only a plane ride away. 🙂
A bit of melancholy in his thoughts. I hope he’ll get to see her again.
Beautiful moment of introspection. That image you included brought the scene to life!
