Another eight sentences from my contemporary romance, ‘Dream of Paris’.
Matt has just
told Anna he’s been trying not to fall in love with her, but now he’s backing
off again!
“I shouldn’t have said anything, not here in Paris.”
“Why not?”
“Everything could be very different once we’re back in
Medport.”
“No, it doesn’t need to be—”
He reached across to squeeze her hand. “Anna, we need time,
both of us, so—” Raising his glass, he tilted his head in a small, almost
helpless gesture. “Here’s to the future, whatever it may bring.”
Why is he so unsure about everything? Nope, I’m not telling
you anything more!
Many thanks to everyone who visits and leaves comments for me!

Blurb:
Anna Richards has a dream of
going to live and study in Paris, but when Matthew Carlton comes into her life,
her dream changes direction.
Attraction sparks between them,
but Matt’s behaviour is strangely inconsistent. Anna is shocked when she
discovers the reason and is sure there is no future for them.
Can Paris work its magic and
make her dream come true?
Oh, no. He speaks the truth most likely, but oh no all the same. Is it next Sunday yet :)
ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job capturing his doubts, both with his actions and his words. Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh so intriguing and frustrating! Nicely done, excellent excerpt!
ReplyDeleteHe has his reasons, S.J. - but I can't tell you what they are :-)
ReplyDeleteJess - many thanks!
Veronica - yes, you're right! Thanks!
He probably has a deep, dark secret that will complicate their relationship.
ReplyDeleteElaine - not quite a deep dark secret, but definitely something that is troubling him.
ReplyDeleteSo I wonder why all of a sudden he is backing off? Reality setting in that Paris can't last forever or is he hiding something? Don't answer that. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm answering, History Sleuth, but only to say it's a little bit of both actually!
ReplyDeleteProbably something he thinks would turn her off totally if she knew.
