It's Sunday here in the UK so, for Six Sentence Sunday, here is the final 'After the Kiss' excerpt from my recently released 'His Leading Lady' which continues the aftermath of Jess and Kyle's sizzling first kiss (when Jess is pretending to be her twin sister). For anyone new to Six Sunday, please look back to my previous Sunday posts!
Relief, she told herself firmly. All evening she’d been worrying about how the evening was going to end, and when he’d said that he wasn’t coming in, it was simply relief that swept through her
Deep inside, she knew there had been far more than that, but already her mind frantically tried to deny what had happened to her emotions and to her body too, when he'd kissed her.
Instead, she diverted her thoughts to the TV interview the next morning. Once she got through that, this whole charade would be over. She could go back to Ashfield and forget that Kyle Drummond even existed.

ReplyDeleteGreat six!
ReplyDeleteOh, right. I'm sure she'll be able to forget!
ReplyDeletelol I'm sure she'll come around!
ReplyDeleteVery nice six!
ReplyDeleteyeah, sure she'll forget - NOT
ReplyDeleteGreat six! Why do I feel like she won't forget!
ReplyDelete*G*!

A.
I don't think thats gonna happen - just saying! Great six!
ReplyDeleteI love her internal thoughts, but I don't think she's going to be able to forget Kyle.
ReplyDeleteVoted!
Hm, but can she? ;) Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteBet she won't forget that kiss and stays around. Great six
ReplyDeleteLove the emotion and conflict. Great six! Voted for you. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteAww...the best laid plans. It's always when you want to forget someone you remember every minute detail about them. Oh, I feel for Jess. She's in quite the predicament. Fantastic six! Now, I'm off to vote for you. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteNo, no forgetting here. Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteEmotional and bittersweet. Love it!
ReplyDeleteBased on her relief and body speak, I'm thinking she's not going to forget him too soon. :)
ReplyDeletegreat six!
Uh huh, sure, that's going to happen, lol. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for visiting.
ReplyDeleteAnd, as you've all guessed, there's no way she's going to forget Kyle.
But I'm not going to give away what happens after she does the TV interview with him, that would be too much of a spoiler!
;-)
Forgot to say, but thank you to all who voted for my cover. Don't think it has a chance of winning now (too many votes to catch up), but it's gratifying to get as many votes as I have.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be interesting. I have the feeling it'll be one hell of an interview. Great six!!!
ReplyDeleteOh if it were ever so simple. lol
ReplyDeleteMe thinks the lady doth protest too much. lol!
ReplyDeleteVery good six! That must've been an amazing kiss :)
ReplyDeletesomething makes me thing forgeting him isn't going to go as she thinks
ReplyDeleteSomehow I do not believe that she will forget
ReplyDeleteThanks again for visiting. You're all right, she isn't going to forget!
ReplyDeleteI like how you drive home the fact that's she trying to convince herself by repeating 'relief' in the first paragraph.
ReplyDeleteYup, I'm totally doubting she'll ever forget Kyle Drummond ever existed. And I don't think she'll be able to kid herself for long, either...nice characterization in this snippet. Love it.
