Wewriwa 06-16-2013 heartbreak

Welcome back everyone. It's that time again. Time for my snippet from my paranormal romance Eternity's Price for the Weekend Writing Warriors. Over the past several weeks we've watched Catie and Eli go from being best friends, to dating and how they've been handling that. This week, they're about to be thrown their first curveball. A concert memorial for the recent dead of the city has been thrown by a friend of Eli's, and that is making him think of Esther.

For this snippet we are in Catie's point of view, and Eli has just walked into the venue.

Suddenly, even with her gift blocked for the evening, she could just feel Eli's presence; it was like there was an empty place in the room that had just been filled. She turned and saw him, dressed far more casually than she had ever seen him before in jeans, a t-shirt with a white button down shirt with only half of the buttons done up and... sneakers? Catie would have never guessed that Eli even owned sneakers. He leaned against the wall, watching the concert, his face seeming to be set in stone, his eyes flashing with regret and pain. Catie reached out to him with her mind, only to find herself blocked. Just like he had in France, he had somehow blocked her out. How in the world was he doing that? He looked so helpless, so hopeless, and her heart broke for him.

Yeah... this is not going to go well, I don't think. Come back next week to see what happens when they're alone after the concert. And in the meantime, be sure to check out all the other great writers over at www.wewriwa.com. Thanks for stopping by, and please feel free to leave a comment.

  2. A lot of emotion in this snippet. I'm curious to know why and how he's blocking his thoughts.

  3. So sad, especially in the middle of a concert where presumably everyone else is in a good mood. Intriguing. Excellent excerpt!

  4. If they have gotten close, it'll be curious to see why he's blocking her thoughts.

  5. I'll bet she's not going to give up now. There's a connection between them and I can't imagine that she'd just let it go. Nice snippet!

  6. Of course she won't let this one go! He's not going to let her in easily, I bet. Interesting snippet!

    Love your blog background.

  7. Eli has things to hide. I'm not sure if Catie will always be so nice about it.
