Keep in mind Heart and Soul is a WIP.
About the snippet: Katie is skeptical about Maverick’s interest in Rowan.
This is in Maverick’s POV. Katie last statement from last week: “I’ve been working with you from the beginning.”
***
He had hit on her too but she put him in his place and they’d been friends ever since.
“I like Rowan and I don’t want you to screw it up. You’re her boss,” she reminded him as if he could forget. “You can’t date her.”
“I’m not dating her.”
Katie narrowed her eyes. “Good, d
“Good Lord, can we stop talking about this now?”

About Heart and Soul…

80s rock star, Haley Rose went missing without a trace on October 31 1988 and was eventually presumed dead. Three decades later, a thirty-year old woman, Rowan Beckett recalls things only Haley Rose would know and she can belt out songs in the same fashion as the missing 80s star. However, Rowan couldn’t be the missing rock star since the woman would now be in her fifties. Could Haley Rose have came back reincarnated as Rowan Beckett?
She definitely knows Maverick well, and he knows it. I wonder if he’ll heed her words.
Jessica,
You can bet he won’t. lol
Love that image with this snippet.
He is really done being heckled abut his interest in Rowan. Go Katie! π
Teresa,
I’m so glad you liked the photo. π
Katie is the best. π
Although from a story perspective I want him to get involved with Rowan, Katie is, of course, totally in the right — which sets up a nice tension between groin and conscience.
Ed,
Yes, it does. lol Nicely put.
Love this bit of dialogue because there’s so much being said in so few words. I, too, enjoyed the pic at the top. Great work! π
Julie,
So glad you enjoyed the banter and liked the photo.
He got off easy (so far) in that discussion! Much more to come, I’m sure…enjoyed the excerpt!
Veronica,
There is much more to come. π
What a terrific powerful snippet and you added even more. Thanks for the haunting
Charmaine,
So glad you’re enjoying the snippets.
LOL! I think he’s got the message. Whether he’ll be able to remember it at the right time is another matter though π
Botanist,
Message received but quickly forgotten. lol
I’m gonna bet right now that he’s not going to follow his own rules. π
Amy,
Probably not.
This answers my question from last week (if she wanted him). Guess she’s acting like the big sister and forcing him to listen. I know he won’t. LOL
Diane,
You probably have that right. lol
Sounds like someone might’ve gotten a little too close to the truth of where his mind is really wandering, there.
It appears so. lol
Just this small snippet of dialog defines their relationship. We all need friends like that, the ones who can be soul-strippingly honest with us. Nice job, Karen!
Sorry, Katie, but all the good advice doesn’t really help in a situation like this. Fun dialogue!
Katie is a smart cookie. Hopefully, he will listen to her advice. Then again, what fun would that be? π
