Weekend Writing Warriors

Eight more sentences from my current ‘work in progress’, provisionally titled ‘Irish Inheritance’. Jenna has just been informed of her inheritance by a London lawyer.
 
“You said I had a half share of the house and the fifty thousand pounds.” Even saying the words seemed surreal. She hadn’t yet wrapped her mind around what the money actually meant. “Who gets the other half?”
 
“I’m sorry, Ms. Sutton, I don’t have that information. The Dublin law firm is dealing with the estate and I’m sure Mr. McGrath will be able to tell you more when you meet him in Dublin.”
 
“When I meet him in—? Whoa, hold on, who says I’m going to meet him?”
 
 
Another photo of Connemara for you!

    Very nice, Paula! I'm intrigued to find out who will be "sharing" the house. ;-)

    I like that she doesn't sound as though she believes or wants all this. And yes I do wonder who 'the other half' is. Great snippet, Paula.

    Sudden wealth must be a very disturbing event, even if welcomed. I'm not surprised she's wary of going to meet a stranger in Ireland. Good tensions set up here. Love the pic of Connemara!

    Yup, I'm hooked as well. I'm dying to know who gets the other half of the house and what the stipulations are. Terrific snippet!

    I think her reactions are very believable. Not only are half a house and money unexpectedly tossed at her, now people expect her to go to Ireland! Nice job.:)

    Can't wait to meet her co-heir---I'm sure they'll hit it off right away (cough). :)

    Thank you all! As this will be the first page of Chapter 1, it's good to know you are already hooked and wanted to find out more, especially about the co-heir!

    Of course she's going to meet him! Who in their right mind would pass up a chance to go to Ireland?

    Sounds like a very fun and intriguing setup! And yes, she definitely needs to go to Ireland.

    She'll be in Ireland by the end of Chapter 1 - and so will the co-heir ;-)
