Great six Sherry! Love that the setting's so serene, but the conversation's so tense.
Fab scene setting, I could almost see and have a sense of passing scenery -- and the character interactions...very intense!

Liked the line 'blue skies overhead offered a large playground for the early summer sunshine'. I just have this image in my head of sunbeams skipping around now! And I remember seeing your cover on Black Opal when I was publisher hunting - was trying to place where I'd seen it before.
I agree with Pippa Jay! Great image!
