This is a WIP.
Last sentence from last week: “Are you here for a visit?” his father asked as his gaze shifted to the duffel he held.
This weeks snippet.
“Yes. I hope it’s all right.”
“Of course it’s all right,” his mother said. “What kind of question is that?”
His father’s brow furrowed and he stared at him over the rim of his glasses. “Is everything all right, son?”
He chuckled as if to make light of his arrival. He hadn’t been home for five years. “I’m good.”
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?

NEW AT AUDIBLE!
Mermaid Cove and Seaside Sundaes
Short story FROM THE WILD ROSE PRESS’ ONE SCOOP OR TWO SERIES!
One selfless act as a teen unfairly caused Sirena Seafair to forfeit her ability to shift into a mermaid.
Fifteen years later, her mundane life is about to change when Jack O’Casey arrives in the Irish town of Grimm Nitch and opens his restaurant, Mermaid Cove. The man is bound and determined to make Sirena his no matter what. But if by chance, Sirena can find a way to reclaim her life as a mermaid, will she leave Jack and her human life behind in exchange for a life beneath the sea? Or will surrendering her heart to love be the magic she’s been waiting for all along?
Awkward!
Nonetheless, a reunion is an appropriate snippet for the holiday season.
I like the parents’ caring and forgiving nature.
Why is it that parents assume something is wrong when you show up at their door?
That is a long time to be away from one’s family, especially if you parted on good terms. But, yes, typical parent reaction.
Yeah after five years they might well wonder why he suddenly showed up! Great snippet…
Always need to get through the polite niceties before the real conversation on how they really are can begin! Great snippet.
No visits for 5 years? I’m sure he had his reasons but yeah, that’s awkward.
He made it home!
Moms always have an open door and an open heart for their kids–even after five years. But his dad’s chuckle hints at Eastyn and him having a good relationship too. Nice!
Drake (shaking my head) not Eastyn! 🙂
