Welcome to Six Sentence Sunday: Where writers share six sentences from their
published or unpublished books.
In this snippet from BENEATH THE SURFACE, Brooke tries to shrug off an attack. But Garrett, an overprotective policeman, hovers.
“Damn kids,” Garrett said. His strong arms
started a slow caress from her side to her ribs as if to comfort her. “You
okay?”
She wished he’d stop asking her that. She straightened
in the seat and tried to right herself on the cushion. She nodded, not sure if
she wanted him to hold her tight or let her go.
Thanks for stopping by!
