Twirl and Dip (WIP) Drake’s POV
Once seated Drake took a welcome sip. “Good brew.”
“So, you had a concert tonight?” Maverick asked before bringing the mug to his lips.
“I did. It was over before I decided to hightail it out of there. I just need time to think, you know? And well…” He sat back in his seat. “I didn’t want someone talking me out of going. I just left.”
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?

Are you excited yet? Yes, you say. Me, too. ♥
You do such a god job of writing atmosphere in your stories. This one is no different. He has certainly stepped out of the hectic life for a wee bit. Pretty laid back there, sipping his coffee. with Maverick. 🙂
Sometimes we just need some distance to make the right decision. Nice snippet.
His bandmates must be wondering what happened to him. Hope he doesn’t pull a Joe Strummer and disappear for six months!
This place is so much more calm than the setting he was escaping after the concert. Definitely a place to get some thinking done.
I’m waiting for them to ask what has someone of his fame popping up amongst them with no plan of where to go.
Nothing like a hot beverage and a quiet shop to help someone relax.
Your dialogue works really well. It gives just enough information to keep the reader interested and reading on.
Okay, he’s got some time to think here. But what is he going to think about? Something that bothers him.
He did just leave all right. Probably a lot of consternation behind him! I’m glad he has a good friend to turn to here…great snippet!
So much said in so few words. Great snippet.
