Six Sentence Sunday

Welcome to another Six Sentence Sunday! Thanks to everyone who stops by to leave a comment. As always, the comments are welcome and appreciated! 

I've decided to keep with the scene I started last week. I had a heck of a time remembering if this was a snippet I'd posted yet or not. I've searched and I can't find it, so, crossing my fingers I haven't. This part of the original scene that eventually made it into the revision, because I liked it. The description of the hero as seen through the heroine's eyes. This picks up right where last week's left off. 
He stood leaning a shoulder against the door frame, arms folded across his chest. God, he hadn’t changed a bit. He towered over her; the top of her head barely reached his shoulder. He’d spent the last twenty years in the United States Army and every inch of him was honed to perfection. His white T-shirt clung to his upper torso like a second skin, showcasing the well-defined muscle that lay beneath. His faded jeans hugged his lean hips and muscular thighs, metal identification tags hanging on a chain around his neck.



Thanks again for stopping by! And don't forget to stop by the SSS website and read all the other fabulous snippets! See you next week!

  7. Thanks, Christine! When I originally wrote that, I had this image in my head and I tried to make it match what I saw. This was actually the first introduction that I had to him. He leaned against an apartment doorway. I think I drooled, too. ;)
