WIP (Eastyn's POV)
"Well then," she stated as if this would put a stop to the trip down memory lane her mind seemed intent on taking. She needed Drake out of kitchen before she recalled anything else she wanted to forget about this man. Obviously, putting the past behind her had been one big fat lie.
"Let's put you to work." She took a deep breath and squared he shoulders and walked by him and his musky scent teased her senses. She gritted her teeth as her feet hurried toward the front door just to put some distance between them.
"My sign out front isn't lighting up properly," she said when he caught up with her.
He shaded his eyes and glanced up at the sign. "I'll work on that first then, but I'll need you to turn off the circuit to the sign." He glanced at her and for a moment he looked as if he were contemplating saying more, but then he cleared his throat and waited for her to agree to his request.
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?
It’s going to be interesting to read his thoughts on the situation in his POV. Really liking the story so far.
Iris,
His POV coming soon.
They’re both not saying things so loudly!
Ed,
Yes, they are. 🙂
Reading between the lines is half the fun . . . for us, at least. For them, not so much.
Nancy,
It is fun for us. lol
The tension of this is amazing inagoodway, with the two of them trying to carry on as if he’s really just there to fix the sign and they aren’t going to discuss whatever is/was between them. I love it – great snippet!
Veronica,
I’m glad you’re enjoying the snippets.
I sense circuitry complications here.
Aurora,
lol– so true.
She’s gonna have to work overtime to pretend she’s not affected by him. Great snippet!
Julie,
Yes, she is.
Oh, the tension is so thick between them! I wonder what it’s finally going to take to get them to talk about what happened.
Jessica,
They’ll have to face the past soon enough.
I wish he’d kept talking! I suppose it’s not the best time. He prolly read Eastyn’s body language and zipped his lips. 🙂
Teresa,
He will eventually have his say.
Great tension. Its clear their saying one thing on the outside, and something else entirely is going on inside.
Shari,
There is quite a bit of tension for sure.
Her heartbreak comes through loud & clear. My heart hurt for her. Great snippet.
He is so not there just to be a handyman. The tension is so thick it’s almost a tangible thing. Great scene!
She needed Drake out of kitchen before she recalled anything else she wanted to forget about this man.
^^This^^ wrapped up her dilemma perfectly. Nice snippet.
I don’t blame her for being cautious, but I bet he now wants to be more than a handyman.
I’m not sure I’d trust her not to turn it back on.
No sense in getting zapped by the sign!
I’m certainly glad that I’ve never been enamored with any of the workers that have come to my house. Most of them are quite too young for me anyway.
