New month ~ new story.
Today I am sharing another snippet from my short Valentine story,
Queen of Diamonds,
which is part of a fifteen author
Astraea Press Anthology
This week's snippet carries on from last week
“Do you realise how busy I am next
week? I have three children’s birthday parties, an engagement bash, a baby
shower, and a massive Valentine party to organise for Aila Metaxas on the14th,
Friday night. And before then,” she added before
Ritchie could interrupt, “I have my normal weekend rush of venues to deal with
starting this afternoon with a fiftieth wedding anniversary.” Sybil stalked
into the pocket-sized kitchen, dug a bottle of cool water from the fridge, and,
unscrewing the bottle cap, stalked back again. “I don’t have time to play some
stupid game of poker with this Culley just because you and your buddies think
it’s cool to ‘play for the girl.’”

She sounds exceedingly busy!
:-) Thanks for coming by William. Yeah, she's a busy lady.
That last line leaves me very curious. I have the book, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
Is it the request (which sounds intriguing) or the timing (which sounds impossible) that's bothering her?
Can't wait to find out!
Methinks she's trying too hard to convince herself that she doesn't want to do it.
Sounds like she needs some fun in her life. Let the games begin. :)
I hope you enjoy it when you get to it Elaine, there are some awesome stories in this anthology. I found it hard to choose a favourite. :-)
Both Sarah, but mostly the request.
LOL. very true, PT. Thanks for coming by.
Gem, and they do, gem. They do!! lol
