LOOKING FOR last week’s SNIPPET: Snippet #9
Now for Chapter One, #10 snippet: Los Angeles, 2007 Disappear
Evie traveled back in time to 1997 and is waiting for her brother to call and offer her the job to be Bellamy’s personal assistant. This is in Evie’s POV.
*****************************************************************************************************************
The phone rang, startling her. She lunged for the phone and fumbled with it before she put it to her ear. “Hello?” Shoot, she should answer with the name of the facility. She wasn’t answering a home phone.
“Evie?” her brother asked.
“Hi, Bryce,” she said and gripped the phone as she waited for him to ask the question that could possibly change history.
“I have a proposition, and before you say no, hear me out.”
“Yes,” she said and then realized he hadn’t asked her anything yet.
He chuckled and said, “Make sure you keep that answer in mind.
*****************************************************************************************************************
Just ask her already. lol
Blurb for Two Worlds Collided:
Evie Reid on a whim agrees to travel back in time to change bad boy Bellamy Lovel’s path of destruction. She’s smart with a college degree, but she is still fan-girl crazy for the rock band, Civilized Heathens. Evie knows despite all Bellamy’s smiles and enthusiasm on the stage, he’s destined to end it all on one lonely night in a hotel room unless she can change his path.
Bellamy isn’t keen on having Evie as his personal assistant, hired by his band mates to watch over him, and keep him on schedule. However, there is something about the woman that sparks his interest, despite his best to ignore her. When darkness threatens to consume him, he realizes she may be the only light that will chase the shadows away.

Like this–hope she doesn’t regret that answer. I like that she’s thinking she should have answered with the name of the facility–sounds like something I would do.
Nancy,
lol- Me too.
She has an unfair advantage here, and she’s not going to waste any time. Love this!
Christina,
Yep, you’re right. She doesn’t know how long she’ll be there in the past and is anxious to begin.
She’s definitely eager to help. Nice snippet!
Elyzabeth,
She is since she’s hoping this change in history will alter Bellamy’s path.
Outstanding, Karen. Leaves the reader wondering what happens next.
Charmaine,
Thank you.
She needs to pull herself together or she’ll tip off everyone around her to the fact that she knows something they don’t!
Karen,
She needs to take a well needed breath and let it out again so she can remain focused.
She’s almost forgotten how to use an old phone, and she’s jumping ahead! To what?
Aurora,
For a moment, she forgot she was at work, but then she has more pressing matters to attend to.
This story is so much fun, love the details of her trip back in time! Great snippet.
Veronica,
Thanks so much. Glad you’re enjoying the story.
Oh no! She seems overly anxious. I hope she doesn’t give anything away. Nice snippet!
Jessica,
If she reveals too much, the magic link will snap and she’ll be catapulted back to 2007 without accomplishing anything. Hopefully, she will remember this and pull it together. 🙂
LOL! Just ask her…or not, since she already answered. Nice snippet!
J. Rose,
lol- She has at that.
I love the goof on answering the phone.
(I once had the opposite problem. I had a customer service job and couldn’t remember what to say when I answered the phone at home.)
PT,
I’ve answered at home like I’m at work. lol
I wonder if the lady is about to discover that overeagerness can be dangerous.
Ed,
Yes, it can.
She already knows the question, with the time travel and all. But he has no way of knowing that!
Caitlin,
Of course, he doesn’t. Her brother expected her to balk at the idea, not say yes before he posed the question. lol
At least they seem to know each other well. Good snippet that leaves me wanting more (as yours always do!)
Amy,
They do. That’s her brother. lol
LOL … loved the small dialogue. hope she doesn’t regret her hasty answer.
Heh, I think she needs to take a couple of deep breaths before she accidentally spoils something. Great snippet! 🙂
Thanks so much.
Love this!
She’s jumping the gun a little, isn’t she? Maybe she ought to slow down before she tips people off with how strange and edgy she’s acting. At least it’s working out so far for her.
Just one thing that caught my eye, should “here” be “hear” instead?
Yes, here should be hear. That’s what I get for trying to tweak the paragraphs to meet the 10 sentence limit. Thanks.
a bit of humor in this snippet, but she has got to slow down before others realize that there is something “off” about her.
Nice job of showing how anxious she is! She really fumbled her way through that. 🙂
