”I might not understand much of anything else, but I know who and what I am. The biggest change is that I don’t apologize for it or hide from it any longer.”
G.F. looked out over the yard, listened to the crickets and to an owl in the distance, and devoured the brownie she’d handed him. Maybe the most luscious brownie he’d ever had. Though he knew it could be the company and the front porch in the dark and the quiet of nature that made it taste so good. Plain? He never guessed Francis Barrett would ever see herself as plain.
He wiped crumbs off his fingers onto the sides of his jeans. “You know... I kind of think you have that backwards.”
“Backward. No ‘s’ on the end.” She flashed a glance at him. “Sorry. Habit.”

And the Cover Reveal:
LOL "No s at the end." Nicely done. Says a lot about her with that little detail. Great snippet, Ella. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat snippet -- very sweet scene. (And pass the brownies!) Oh, and welcome to Sunday Snippets!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to like her. Great snippet. Congrats on the cover reveal and also a warm welcome to Sunday Snippets!
ReplyDeleteI love the first sentence ... and I agree with him re the "s" - keep it :-)
ReplyDeleteI noticed in your tags the word "dementia", I had a feeling that "something" was up with her statement that she knows what she is, maybe I am jumping ahead of myself? Anyhow, it sounds like this is likely to be a timely and poignant story. dEfinitely intrigued to learn more about her.
