Twirl and Dip (WIP) Drake’s POV
Drake realized his hands held all he needed and hurried out the door and to the emergency exit he’d spotted earlier when the band did their soundcheck. Feeling like a wanted criminal, he pulled the cap down lower. He usually wore contacts, but he occasionally wore glasses as part of disguise to avoid fans. Superman had it right. No one recognized you if you changed your style and wore dark-rimmed glasses.
The red letter exit sign came into view, and he pushed the silver handle as he shoved at the door. Alarms went off, but he didn’t slow his pace as he hurried and join the stream of people leaving the venue. He blended in as if he were heading for his vehicle and home, just like everyone else.
He knew LA as well as he did is hometown and the bus station on the next block over would do the trick in ensuring his escape. He had just enough cash to get him where he wanted to go before anyone realized he was missing.
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?

That was a quick decision! Though I’m not sure that disguise would fool the stans.
Jessica,
It’s been in his mind for a while, but just decided to act on it. We’ll have to wait and see if the disguise will work.
Okay, he now calls it an escape. Interesting. I’m sure someone in his position will be able to get money from the bank easily.
Iris,
Of course, he has money. He just doesn’t have it on him. 🙂
He had his “escape” all planned out. Does he leave this way often? And where is he going?
Aurora,
He’s planning this as he goes.
Intereting. I wonder what all the secrecy is about? Who is he trying to escape from?
Ian,
He doesn’t want his manager or anyone else to know where he’s going until he has things sorted out.
Fame has its own curse – that of being easily recognizable. Too recognizable. Me thinks he’s going after what he left behind.
Nancy,
Fame can be a curse. Privacy is a luxury not often given.
Tense little snippet but he does seem to be enjoying his escape….enjoyed the moment, can’t wait for more!
Veronica,
He’s hoping for a little quiet to sort things out.
He’s on his way! Eastyn has no idea what’s about to roll back into her life. 🙂 Good snippet!
Teresa,
Eastyn will be a bit surprised for sure. lol
Quite a delicious escape plan! Blend in and conquer. I sure hope it works out in the end. Great snippet!
Jenna,
We’ll have to wait and see. 🙂
I think we all sometimes want to sneak out of our life, just like he’s actually doing. I hope he’s able to enjoy his freedom, even if I doubt it’ll last long.
Get going before anyone can notice, or have second thoughts…
