WIP (Eastyn's POV) Last week we ended with Drake asking Eastyn to turn off the circuit to the sign to her soda shop so he could work on it.
Snippet:
Through the large window she could see him heading toward a truck parked at the curb. He must have borrowed it from his dad since the business' logo was displayed on the side door.
She hurried back to the kitchen as the turmoil of emotions assailed. She wanted to scream or hit him… or maybe she just wanted to wrap her arms around his neck and breath him in as she kissed him. She squeezed her eyes shut. "Get a grip," she grumbled as she paced, trying to calm her nerves. Drake was back in town. Why did he have to look sinfully fine in his blue jeans just like she remembered him. Why did his voice have to make her stomach do flip flops as if she still cared about him? "I don't care about him," she murmured as if this would convince 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?

Or will surrendering her heart to love be the magic she's been waiting for all along?
Her last line is very believable . . . NOT.
Denial 😉 I’d like to know whether she goes for hitting or kissing him.
At least she knows she’s not convinced, thus very vulnerable to him. Fun snippet.
Yeah, that last line is not remotely believable. Not even to herself, I bet. So what’s she gonna do now? Looking forward to next week’s!
I think she’s going to have to do a lot more convincing. Great way to show her inner turmoil!
She’s not convincing me, let alone herself LOL. But I liked the scene! She’d better get a grip before they talk again…great snippet.
Poor girl. She’s not fooling anyone, including herself. Cute.
LOL. She isn’t convincing either herself or me.
Ah, the dichotomy of a love/hate relationship. Of or a ‘I’d love to hate you, but I can’t’ relationship. She’ll need more than a timid pep talk to get through this one. Psssttt….. I’m all for her kissing him… just sayin’
What a tough spot she’s in. And he doesn’t seem to be making it any easier for her, whether he realizes it or not.
Of course she doesn’t care about him… (Maybe if she says it often enough someone will believe it.)
