This is a WIP.
Eastyn heard the bell chime upfront and knew it was probably Jack Tennyson. She'd arranged for him to come by today since the Twirl and Dip kept their doors closed on Mondays. Hopefully, the minor maintenance needed to be done wouldn't take too long.
While Mr. Tennyson worked, she planned to create the new flavored ice cream of the month. Homemade ice creams were her specialty, and she liked to come up with different flavors to keep the customers coming back in to try something new.
"I'm in the kitchen," she yelled to let Mr. Tennyson know where to find her.
She placed the items in her hands on the large stainless-steel worktable she used to create her specialties, whether it proved to be ice cream or home baked goods. "The chocolate chips," she murmured and strode back to the walk-in pantry for the rest of the items.
"Where would you like me to start?" she heard a man call to her and she frowned wondering why Mr. Tennyson's stiff with age voice now vibrated beautifully clear as if he were a much younger man.
She strode out of the pantry and froze as her gaze collided with a six-foot lean male with dark as ebony hair and green eyes.
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?

NEW AT AUDIBLE!
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?
Well, they reunite at last! Looking forward to her reaction!
Oh, I hope despite all she’s glad to see him.

Will be interesting to watch these two reconnect.
Nice snippet.
Very cool scene! I enjoyed the surprise.
A fun scene – she’s thinking about ice cream and freezes when she sees him.
Hmm – why don’t I ever step out of my pantry and smash into someone like that?!?!?! Maybe I should go check for chocolate chips.

Nice to meet Eastyn this week. Great ending for the snippet. I so want to know what happens next.
I’m sure she wasn’t expecting to see him. What a cliffhanger!
So what happens when she unfreezes? I’m getting this feeling it’s not going to be all sunshine and rainbows.
Loved the snippet because of course I knew what a surprise she was about to get LOL. Excellent…can’t wait to see how this encounter goes.
Surprise! I wonder if she recognizes him? And if those baking items are going to hit the floor. 🙂 Great snippet!
What a way to leave us hanging.
Surprise, surprise!
This is going to be an interesting reunion. (And I’m wondering if the new ice cream flavor will actually get made.)
Finally catching up. The moment we’ve been waiting for! 🙂
