Kait’s gaze landed on the tabletop and she clicked her tongue with a shake of her head. “Oh come on now, where are yer manners? Ye dinnae give the lassie a proper drink of George’s fine whiskey.”
“No, I’m fine really,” Michaela raised her hands in protest, but Kait persisted, whirling around to
head for the bar. Her swift actions had her plowing into a young man. His beer splashed down the front
of his polo shirt and onto the paper he was holding. “I dinnae see ye.” Kait said and grabbed a few napkins from the table to wipe his shirt.
“It’s all right,” the young man laughed, his speech indicating he was a tourist.

Kait’s been sidetracked for the moment…

Weekend Writing Warriors for Eight Sentence Sunday
Oops, lol. Cute snippet. 😀
SJ,
Thanks. So glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Vividly described scene, felt like I was there. I have a feeling Kait can turn into a very unpleasant person too…great snippet!
Kait’s not all that bad, but still… lol
I could smell the beer, you wrote this so well. Good eight.
Charmaine,
Thanks so much! 🙂
I was so hoping the tourist would distract Kait from her “hostess duties,” so Alan and Michaela could get on with the bonding! 😀
Sarah,
Could help the situation. lol
Cute! I bet Michaela enjoyed watching that, I did!
Marcia,
So glad you did. 🙂
omg, i love the accent in this snippet. I could just hear it so perfectly and it made me go all melty inside! 🙂
Lauren.
So glad you liked the brogue. 🙂 Melty inside is good. lol
Am I the only one wondering if the tourist is Michaela’s boyfriend from back home, come looking for her?
(I just bought this the other day so I supposed I could go read it and find out — if I wasn’t stuck in editing hell right now…)
PT,
Not her boyfriend, I’ll give you that, but it doesn’t mean he won’t show up… hint hint….
Hehe. Sounds like the tourist is just what Kait needs.
Sarah,
Could be the distraction needed. hee hee
Poor Michaela. Looks Like Kait’s gonna insist she drink. LOL
Michelle,
Kait is a wee bit bossy, but Michaela is no push over. 🙂
Kait might find the young tourist attractive…it could happen : )
Kait’s in a bit of a hurry to get Michaela drunk.
Sue Ann,
Does seem that way, doesn’t it? lol
Great snippet!
Allyson,
Thanks so much! 🙂
Ooh! A man for Kait perhaps? At the very least she’s temporarily distracted from bothering Michaela now.
Kate,
At least a distraction. 🙂
Hopefully Michaela can hold her whiskey… because she’s getting some whether she likes it or not!
Caitlin,
Yes, Kait will make sure of it. Another test?
Hmm. Will the tourist play a bigger role or not? We’ll see.
Elaine,
I guess you’ll have to wait and see. lol 🙂
Kait certainly has a personality all her own!
Carrie-Anne,
Yes, she does. 🙂
I like the brogue!! Kait will have to check out the tourist 🙂 Good 8, Karen!
Teresa,
So glad you like the brogue. 🙂
Kait seems a little bit persistent at defining her territory.
