“What kind of game are you playing, Paul?”
He stopped, one foot still on the bottom step, and looked back. “What do you mean?”
After a quick glance around the lobby to make sure no-one was in earshot, she forced herself to look directly at him. “Last Monday you said we should forget about the past.”
“I suppose it’s inevitable there are going to be reminders from time to time—and at least I didn’t lie about anything.”

Blurb: Lisa Marshall is stunned when celebrated volcanologist Paul
Hamilton comes back into her life at the college where she now teaches. Despite
their acrimonious break-up several years earlier, they soon realise the
magnetic attraction between them is stronger than ever. However, the past is
still part of the present, not least when Paul discovers Lisa has a young son.
They can’t change that past, but will it take a volcanic eruption to help them
change the future?'Changing the Future' is available at $3.99 on Amazon

I think it's time for a re-read of this great story. Your six sentences remind me how good it is and it's certainly a story I know I will read again with enjoyment. I love this six - you capture the bristling tension between Lisa and Paul so well.
Thanks so much, Lyn. I'm so pleased you enjoyed the story!
They still have a lot to work through there, evidently.
Oh, that was quite the jab at the end. Great six! :)
Very tension-filled six, Paula. Great six!
Good six! And without giving anything away--Boy, he has no idea what kind of reminders there are! :-) Love it, Paula! :-)
Stevie - you're absolutely right!
Jessica - they're still at the stage where every other comment is barbed, LOL
Thanks, K.E.
Very true, Teresa ;-)
Ooh...she's implying that someone *did* lie? Tsk, tsk!
Oooh, what a teasing six! I like the title.
"What do you mean" Oh that innocent sounding phrase. Like he doesn't know, right? Find Kristal Here
Dee - it's Paul who's making the implication - and she's not going to like that, is she?
Jasmine - thanks!
Kristal - yes, he knew, of course!
Very nice six...and I love the blurb and the cover. Looks like a great book!
Whatever happened between them in the past, it's sounding more and more like they both think it was her fault. Good, solid six, Paula!
Ohhh, the tension between them is sizzling. I love it! Terrific six!
The tension comes through in these six. Great six!
oooh, snap! He's definitely playing a game and enjoying watching her reaction! I haven't read the story, but the last line definitely sounded like a stinger
Oh, ow! I have a feeling the claws are about to come out!
Nice jab at the end there. Sounds like there's lots of unresolved tension. Great six.
Thank you, Ann :-)
Jess - she blames him, and he blames her....
Joanne and Karen - so glad you're feeling the tension!
Angela - he knows he was winding her up, and she knows it too!
Stephanie - you're right :-)
Kate - lots of tension still to come!
And there they go, taking it to the next level. Sucker punches hurt, don't they. Fab pacing.
Hmm, was there a lie? Nice job!
I get the feeling there was (and still is) a major mutual misunderstanding. But I still need to find time to read it!
Each week I read your snippets I like this story and the characters more and more! Nice 6 Paula :)
Ooh, a hint of intrigue. What DID she lie about?
Great dialogue and intrigue. She probably wants to act like it didn't happen at all. He wants to move on, but admit that it happened and build from there. Very realistic.
To use a term the kids are all using: Snap! He's got her there.
Ooooh! Paul went there, didn't he! No, no Bad Paul. Go get 'em, Lisa! *bwahaha* Love this story, Paula!
Wow, what an exchange! Fabulous six, Paula :D
S.J. There are still more levels for them to go!
Sandra - not so much a lie, as someone 'pretending' she didn't remember something!
Sue - you're right about the majot misunderstanding!
Many thanks, Christine!
Cara - see my comment to Sandra (above) about the 'lie'.
J.M. Interesting analysis! At the moment, they both THINK they want to do one thing but something's pulling them the other way!
Kate - yes, indeed!
Thanks, Silver - love your comment!
Thanks Cassandra :-)
Oh- nice six, Paula! Tensions rising.
Thanks,Calisa!
