Set up for the scene of Chapter 4 #3: Recap from last week.
***Note: Snippet has been modified to fit the 8 sentence limit. Michaela doesn’t want to reveal she has an inoperable brain aneurysm. She does tell Alan and Hyatt that Drumnadrochit called to her…
**************************************************************************************************
Blake cared about her, but not enough for him to let her go. “I suppose telling you Drumnadrochit called to me sounds silly to you.”
“A callin’ is never silly.” Alan’s large hand covered hers.
The heat of his touch and the impact of his gaze made Michaela believe he truly did understood.
“Hey, are we goin’ to play or what?” Hyatt’s voice broke the moment.
Alan removed his hand, taking the warmth with him.
**************************************************************************************************
Aah… Alan understands.

Hooray Team Alan! 🙂
One could argue about whether or not Blake was being selfish by wanting her to have the surgery—but it wasn’t his call, and he thought it was. There’s the part that makes him wrong for her.
Very deftly done!
Sarah,
You are spot on. 🙂
aww, of course he understands! 🙂 His hand may be gone but that connection isn’t! Nice excerpt, Karen.
Owllady,
You are so right. The conversation is far from over.
Very nice way to come back to reality from the memory and from Alan’s touch.
BTW, did you change direction in mid-sentence? “…he truly did understood.”
PT,
There’s more to Blake. Yes, a wee bit selfish because he wants Michaela to live, but there’s so much more to the man and you’ll see later on in the book. 🙂 Can’t give it away.
Lovely, as always. I’m enjoying the growing affection and connection between the characters!
Sarah,
Thanks so much. 🙂
Hyatt! They were having a moment, a lovely moment. Alan understands. 🙂 Great snippet.
SJ,
Yes, they were. I promise there is more. 🙂

I agree. Hyatt should leave them alone. lol
