This is a WIP.
(Jumped ahead a few paragraphs in the next chapter. Drake and his father are eating breakfast.)
After a few minutes his father cleared his throat and he glanced up as he reached for his coffee cup. "I was just wondering if you were serious about lending a hand while you were home?" his dad asked.
"Of course. Anything you need, I'm at your service." He reached for the toast on the plate in the center of the table then the butter knife to slice a generous portion of butter to slather on his bread.
"Well then," his father sat back in his seat. "I'm wanted in two places today and both will require more hours available in a day."
"You name it. I'll take one of the jobs." He took bite of the toast.
"Great," his father said. "After you're finished, if you could head over to the Twirl and Dip that would sure help."
"Twirl and Dip?" He had bacon at his lips but let his hand fall as his heart tripped then sped up a beat. "Do you mean Eastyn's place?
"That's right." His father met his gaze.
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?

Mermaid Cove and Seaside Sundaes
Short story FROM THE WILD ROSE PRESS' ONE SCOOP OR TWO SERIES!
One selfless act as a teen unfairly caused Sirena Seafair to forfeit her ability to shift into a mermaid.
Fifteen years later, her mundane life is about to change when Jack O'Casey arrives in the Irish town of Grimm Nitch and opens his restaurant, Mermaid Cove. The man is bound and determined to make Sirena his no matter what. But if by chance, Sirena can find a way to reclaim her life as a mermaid, will she leave Jack and her human life behind in exchange for a life beneath the sea? Or will surrendering her heart to love be the magic she's been waiting for all along?
Oh, I like the fate bringing him to Eastyn earlier rather than later. Nice snippet.
Perhaps Dad thinks it’s time he meet Eastyn again. It sounds like fate isn’t the only matchmaker in town. 🙂
)
LOVE this. Dad knows exactly what he’s doing! lol
That’s one way to get them together. Go, Dad!
Okay – does Dad know what he is doing?
Love that Dad is playing coy. Way to go, Dad!!
Oh, the reunion is coming soon!!
Hmmm, quite a coincidence, his Dad semding him off to the Twirl & Dip! I’m intrigued, can’t wait for more, great snippet!
Go Dad. Nothing like the right push at the right time.
Ah, now we can see how Eastyn will enter the story. Excellent.
Dad the Matchmaker! WTG, Dad.
I wonder how Eastyn will react to him showing up instead of his dad?
How serendipitous.
Dad wouldn’t be playing matchmaker, would he?
