Welcome to another Six Sentence Sunday! Thanks to everybody who stopped by last week. The comments are always welcome and appreciated. I had to laugh at some of them. Alex's comment was definitely all said in jest. Those who said the wife in question must be feisty were correct. The heroine, Becca, is a third degree black belt and can take any of her brothers to the mat. You definitely don't control Becca. Alex is her oldest brother, and he knows this.
Decided to continue with this scene. It's one of my favorites. I had to cut a couple of lines in order to keep this snippet at 6 and still have it make sense. But this in response to Alex in last week's six.
Chase nudged Jackson’s good arm with an elbow. “That coming from the man who dances as well as his wife.” He turned his head to the right and raised his voice. “You’re keeping up awful well over there, Alex.”
Alex cleared his throat, but didn’t look away or so much as miss a step. “I’ve been taking private lessons for years.”
Thanks again for stopping by! Don't forget to go the Six Sunday website to read all the other great snippets!

Six Sentence Sunday
Welcome to another Six Sentence Sunday! Same as last week, this snippet picks up where the last one left off.
Alex shot Kyle a playful glare. “I feel your pain little brother, but if you’d just kept your appreciation to yourself until you got home we wouldn’t be up here. But we can all thank Jackson. Becca was the one who suggested the switch.” He leaned around Kyle, eyes still narrowed, but the corners of his mouth twitching. “You really ought to learn to how to control that wife of yours.”
If you'd like to participate or just want to read the other snippets, you can do so at the Six Sunday website. See you next week.

Six Sentence Sunday
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by for another Six Sentence Sunday! The comments are always appreciated!
Unfortunately, last week, I fell asleep at the wheel. We got another new puppy and I forgot to sign up for SSS. Der. So, this snippet picks up where the last one left off and continues with the theme. To read last week's snippet go here.
He glanced to his right, peering around Kyle to Alex, who led them all with a surprisingly perfect rendition of his wife’s dance.
“Kyle had to open his big mouth and whistle at Ceci.” Chase grumbled from Jackson’s left side, but his eyes lit with amusement.
“Do you have any idea,” Kyle turned his head to wink at Cecelia, seated on Becca’s left, “how many years I’ve had to watch her dance like this and not be able to say anything? You’ll have to forgive me. I lost my head.”
Of course, don't forgot to go read the other fantastic Six Sunday offerings!
