Wewriwa 05/19/2013

Welcome back, everyone. It's that time of the week, again. Time for another snippet of Eternity's Price, my paranormal romance WIP. I am in rough draft scenes, so I admit these may not be very polished. In this scene Eli has returned from England, and he's a bit upset about everything. Catie has found him in the streets.   After a fairly long talk, she ended up confessing that she's in love with him, and to her surprise he told her that he loves her too. Catie has expressed concern that he may just be rebounding, and that she may be taking advantage of him. This snippet is his reply.

Eli sighed and stood up, pulling Catie to her feet along with him. He put his arms around her, holding her close. "I promise that you are taking advantage of nothing. I promise that someday I will find a way to prove that to you. For right now you are just going to have to trust me. You are just going to have to trust that I love you. You are going to have to trust that I would never do anything to hurt you, and that I'm well aware that taking what you're offering me and not giving the same thing in return will hurt you. Trust me, Catie."

 Aww... he's such a sweetheart. Now the question is, can they really make this work, under the circumstances? Keep coming back to find out. And in the meantime, don't forget to check out all the other great writers over at www.wewriwa.com

And here's some mood music. This scene I actually had two songs on a loop for. So, here they are:



Thanks for stopping by. Tomorrow I'll post the character bio I was supposed to post this weekend, come back to check it out.

    I enjoyed your 8. Eli sounds a lot more wordly-wise than Catie. He comes over very well in this piece.

    So nice that he returns her feelings. What kind of paranormal is it?

    You know, I delve into every book I read, just waiting for that magical moment when the hero finally breaks enough to say his equivalent of the words Eli just did. Well done.

    He's made a convincing point. What say you Catie? Intriguing snippet.

    I really enjoyed this scene and I liked the repetitions in the dialogue ... the emphasis, the cadence. Nicely done. Really good 8.
