Today I am sharing another snippet from my short Valentine story,

Queen of Diamonds,

which is part of a fifteen author

Astraea Press Anthology

After four months of denying it, she still risked losing her heart to a man she hardly knew. Where was the logic in that?

Nor was there any logic in the way the rest of the week flew by. Or that the usual mishaps when working with children never occurred. In fact they all went so smoothly, by Friday morning Sybil was a nervous wreck.

She woke to a dark pre-dawn sky heavy with the promise of rain and a coffee machine on the blink. Not to be denied her morning dose of caffeine, she set the kettle on the hob and prayed it wasn’t a premonition of things to come, and raced upstairs to take a shower.

New month ~ new story.

Today I am sharing a snippet from my short Valentine story,

Queen of Diamonds,

which is part of a fifteen author

Astraea Press Anthology

and due for release shortly...

 

“How could you do this to me — again?” Sybil Diamond stormed round her brother’s living room.” I told you I wasn’t interested, and it’s the third time you’ve pulled this stunt without my permission.” She whirled on Ritchie and aimed her fist low into his gut. It did nothing to appease her rising fury when he deflected her punch. Ritchie worked out more hours daily than she spent shopping.

When she nearly tripped on his discarded shirt she swore, bent to pick it up, and threw it on top of the pile of clothes on a nearby chair. “When are you going to shovel some of this lot into the washing machine?” she demanded; hiding a satisfied smirk at her brother’s wince. He may be a world champion surfer, but much as she loved him, the guy was a slob when it came to his living quarters.
