Today we jump ahead a bit in Dearly Beloved. We’re still in Chris’s POV, but we’re going to fast forward to one of his first intense interactions with Renée. Unfortunately, this happens at 1am in the kitchen, after she’s had a panic attack, late night snack, and frustrating confrontation with Chris, which leads to her dropping a chair on her foot.
Trying hard not to laugh at her hopping around, Chris rushed around the table and picked up the chair. “Smooth move, Ex-Lax,” bending down, he reached to examine her toe.
“Keep your hands off me, I don’t need your help,” Renée shouted, moving backwards so fast she nearly fell off balance due to her hurt, lifted, foot.
Chris watched, fighting the smile threatening to upturn the corners of his mouth at the sight of, too cute Renée, attempting to avoid his touch. Like him, she probably knew one touch would be all it took to change their relationship. Something he severely counted on.
That’s all she wrote folks. Will Renée ever succumb to Chris? We shall see next week. Until then, check out other wonderful authors Six Sentences at www.sixsunday.com. Again, thank you to everyone who takes time to comment. It means the world to me. You rock—hard!
I think I might be falling in love with Chris! Sorry to hear about your car, Piper. Big hugs

ReplyDelete"Something he severely counted on" - LOVE this! The car? ISH. But your six rocks, so here's to a better week!
ReplyDeleteVivid six, Piper. I can see her hopping around trying to avoid that "one touch." I think she's going to lose the battle, however. :)
ReplyDeleteI love these two! I'm rooting for Chris, but I hope he doesn't hurt her, emotionally.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a better week!
They took the tires off your car? That's crazy!

Fun six! Keep writing. The tires can be replaced, but your imagination can never be stolen :)

ReplyDeleteGetting caught up reviewing. This one manages silly and edgy at the same time.
