Welcome to another Six Sentence Sunday! A great big thanks to everyone who stopped by last week to comment! Another snippet from Alex and Angela. This is the point in the story where Alex realizes exactly who Angela is.
“Would you have invited me here tonight if you’d known?” she asked again, every inch of her heavy as the weight of reality descended on her.
He didn’t say anything at first, merely glared across the bed at her. God they were sitting on the very bed they’d just made love on, both still naked, a fact that seeped into her pores and somehow only made her heart ache all the more.
Then his features softened and he jerked his gaze toward the curtained windows. Moonlight streamed in through a crack in the thick curtains, creating a bright streak across the tan carpeting. She could feel the wall that erected between them, watched it go up in the stiff set of his shoulders.
“I don’t know.”

Oh no! I hope they can work it out!
ReplyDeleteNow I want to know who she is!
ReplyDeleteoooh, great tension!
ReplyDeleteOh, that was a terrible answer! My heart's breaking for her.
ReplyDelete'every inch of her heavy as the weight of reality descended on her.' This is an amazing line. Nicely done. :)
Great imagery about feeling the wall building between them. Ugh, I hate "I don't know" answers, they're worse than straight No's!
