A Midnight Visit Part 3 #SnippetSunday #WeWriWa

4/4/2020

Welcome to Snippet Sunday and Weekend Writing Warriors! I'm so excited to be back in the game of sharing my writing and discovering other authors. :-) This is a fabulous community of authors whom I adore. Please be sure to visit the other authors (you'll find their links up above). If you're a writer, please feel free to share your snippets each week! Directions on how to participate are on both sites.

This week's snippet continues from last week. It's the third part of a get-together scene in my debut novel, Take Two. I hope you enjoy! 


She sighed - she could play this game of talking but not really talking. “Not too bad, thanks. The story will last a lot longer than the discomfort.”

​“The story of how I rescued you?” Roger asked, smiling tentatively.

“Maybe. That and the look on your face when you fell afterward,” Rachel said, smiling back.

“My vote is for leaving that part out. Wouldn't want it gettin' round that I fell head over heels for you.”

Rachel's heart thumped at his words. Even though she knew he was teasing her, she would forever cherish the thought of Roger falling for her.

“Of course, I
have fallen for you, and that's the problem.” Roger's voice had dropped, the smile gone. 

Take Two

Is their love real or fiction?

Rachel is a teacher and a single mom who’s picked up the pieces of her life after a horrible marriage. She’d thought her ex-husband was the man of her dreams. He wasn’t. She’s moved on and written a historical romance novel, Swashbuckler, that’s been picked up by Hollywood.
 
Roger is an actor who doesn’t trust women. He’s made bad choices in his past that have come to haunt him in the present, especially the choice that came packaged with blonde hair, large tits, and a marriage that was doomed from the start. Roger thought they were in love—turns out his wife was a social-climber more interested in his status than his heart. He doubts there is a woman alive who can love him for who he is, and not for his fame or for the fantasy he presents to the world. 
​
Both Rachel and Roger have been burned by love, trusting a reality that turned out only to be fantasy. Will their fear succeed at keeping them apart? Or will they break through the barriers and allow themselves to love once again? After all, sometimes reality is much sweeter than fantasy.

This is an amusing and believable way for your character to admit for the first time he loves her.

It doesn't seem like a problem to me, unless they want to make it a problem.

Delightful snippet. She maybe gets in trouble with this man.

What a great scene! Word play goes from playful to dead serious. I can't wait to find out how she reacts to his confession.

That last line really sets a mood. They both have been burned by love so I can see falling for someone being hard if you’re sour about past loves.

I like the line about talk that isn't really talking. That sure changed in a hurry.

Not something a girl wants to hear. Interesting snippet.
