SIX SENTENCE SUNDAY - DRAWN - almost funny

For now, I've put Hale back in his box. I'm concentrating on telling the story from Darrah's POV. 


This week's 6 follows on from the one two weeks ago. 


In case you haven't read any of the SIX SENTENCE tasters this is what DRAWN is all about: 


DRAWN


Darrah has been charged with finding and rescuing the Regal's heir. The evidence suggests he was taken by a band of Sarkisians who feed directly from the living. Darrah fights her cultural prejudice and instinctive fears when The Sarkisian Council send Fauld Hale to work alongside her to rescue the boy and maintain the fragile peace between their peoples.


SIX SENTENCE SUNDAY:



Outside the wind still hurried the snow, but Darrah couldn’t summon the energy to do anything but lean against the tree trunk where Hale had lifted her. She noticed her fuzzy lapses in concentration while he dragged smaller branches from the other side of the canopy and swept the powdery dust and brown needles together. He made a great homekeeper. The giggle she tried to hide with her hand turned into uncontrollable laughter. Hale looked at her but then he laid and stacked the branches more quickly. Darrah's stomach hurt and the tears turned cold but she couldn’t stop laughing: that was Hale’s secret, he was too house-proud.  

I'm looking forward to Valentine's Day. Looking for an unusual mid-week city break, I almost booked a three day trip to Bratislava (like Pennsylvania, it is a great name ;) . 

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING SPECIAL YOU ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO?
