WIP
She forced herself to look away as if arranging her ingredients on the workstation proved an all too important duty.
"Dad had an emergency at Polly Van Gleason's house," he told her. "A pipe broke under foundation or something like that."
Her gaze shot to his with concern. "Oh, no, Polly told me the other day she she thought her water heater was on the fritz. I didn't realize it was more serious."
Drake took a step closer and her eyes fastened on the work belt and gloves hanging like an adornment from his jeans pocket and her brows knitted together. Drake standing in her kitchen and not on a stage somewhere and him sporting a tool belt instead of a guitar didn't seem right in the least. She finally found her voice and narrowed her eyes on him wondering if this was some kind of joke.
"Why are you here, Drake?" her voice came on harsher than she meant.
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?
Good for her! She’s not going to allow him to break her heart again. 🙂 He has his work cut out for him.
Time for that truth to be told if they’re going to have a chance at a future together . . . or even just a friendship.
Now’s his chance. I hope he doesn’t blow it.
Love that he physically looks different than she remembers, making a clear cut from the past.
Good question – an an opening for him perhaps?
Yes, a good question but is she ready for the answer? I guess we’ll find out! Enjoyed the snippet. I liked the little air of unreality, discussing the neighbor’s water heater with a rock star…I thought that was an excellent frame for the situation.
Something about a plumbing problem, perhaps?
She asks a good question. I wonder how he’ll answer. Will he be truthful?
Thanks so much for commenting. I do appreciate your kind words. 🙂
Hope he as a good answer. He has had plenty of time to practice this one. … no pun intended.
