NOOK
Set up for the scene: While Michaela is waiting for Hyatt to chat with his brother, Alan and Hyatt are having it out. It’s the next sentence later from last week. Hyatt is speaking first.
***Note: Snippet has been modified to fit the 8 sentence limit.
**********************************************************************************************************
“Like ye hurt Mary MacGregor, ye mean?”Alan recoiled, making Hyatt realize how his words stung. “Alan, I dinnae mean it.”
Alan held up his hand to halt his words. Mary had died fifty years ago an there was no fixing what was already done. He may have helped her for a while, but in the end…“Ye’re right.” He pursed his lips together. “I have no room to talk, but learn from my follies and doonae make the same mistake.”
***********************************************************************************************************
Hmm… What happened with Mary and Alan?

And you will. 🙂
Unfortunately we never learn from other people’s mistakes. I am loving the passionate exchanges between these two men and watching how the situation unfolds with Michaela, great snippet!
Gemma,
So glad you’re enjoying the snippets!
Oh, no! Did he think Mary was the One, and got involved and she wasn’t? Or was she a chance he didn’t take?
Alan’s hot-n-cold attitude is beginning to make sense . . .
There’s history with Mary. Alan is one of the good ones. There’s a reason why he was involved with Mary, but I can’t give it away. 🙂
Nice snippet! I wonder what happens!
Lots of back story here.
