Today I am sharing more from of my Valentine Story about Henri Gasquet, hero in His Chosen Bride.
His father’s bald statement rocked Henri back on his heels. “You?”
“It is a year since my heart attack,” the king said again, “and for the most part I have accepted the dictates of my doctors and advisors, and am now taking a leaf out of my son’s book before my heir drops dead from physical and emotional exhaustion.”
With a snap the king closed Henri’s diary, leaned back in his chair. Instead of pushing it towards him, the king slipped the diary into one of the desk drawers his gaze still focussed on his son.
“So you, my son, are on leave until I say otherwise.”
Please hop on over to SIX SENTENCE SUNDAY to read more fabulous snippets on offer this week.

Yay, glad the king is giving him a break. Kinda freaky he read his diary though, wow! Intriguing for sure...
