Welcome to this week’s Six Sentence Sunday post! (Visit the other wonderful writers here.) I continue to post from Blowing Embers, my second novel in The Embers Series, a paranormal romance/epic fantasy, released July 1st.
Today’s snip follows right where we left off last time - and keep in mind that Alex, her nephew, is six years old:
The comfy couch beckoned, and she let him lead her back to it. “Alex asked me if he could become a soldier,” she told him as she pulled her legs up.
His face showed no surprise as he lifted a fuzzy blanket from the couch’s arm and wrapped it around her.
“Did you know?” she asked, suddenly suspicious.
“He did not ask me,” he replied blandly.
“But you knew . . . what . . . that he would?”
Great Six! I wonder what his response will be?
ReplyDeleteOh he knows something, but he's not going to tell her yet is he? Great six. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSounds to me like he knows something he's not willing to share.
ReplyDeleteKids can really surprise you with what they know. Great six!
ReplyDeleteI love this story
ReplyDeleteNice 6! Wonder if he's telling the truth?
ReplyDeleteloved the six. Will he tell the truth?
ReplyDeleteworrisome six. Of course he knew
ReplyDeleteDifficult situation. He's kind of caught in the middle, isn't he? Hope he handles it the right way.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the earlier post, but this one makes me wonder what a wee six-year-old has seen that makes him want to become a soldier. I hope it was something pleasant and inspiring, like a friend or family member in uniform, not something dire, like war. Nice soft moment here.
ReplyDeleteNice six.
ReplyDeleteHow frustrating. he wont tell her what he obviously knows. Great six.
ReplyDeleteoooh, one of those tough questions... and she isn't letting him avoid answering it :)
ReplyDeleteLove the hook and can't wait for the answer
ReplyDeleteNice six, definitely makes me want more of the story.
ReplyDeleteLazslo is a good man tho, he'll deal with it.
ReplyDeleteI like how he's taking care of her. Maybe he has something hard to tell her.
ReplyDeleteCurious. What exactly is he hiding? Interesting.
