Hi everyone –
I’m sharing another snippet from FRESH BEGINNINGS,
a story this is mainly set in the USA and follows our itinerary
when we travelled through five States in a motorhome a few years ago.
Today’s snippet is in Ivy’s POV.

 Enjoy ♥♥

This week’s Hook …

Ivy pressed her lips together before she replied, “Not this time, Dylan. There’s always an excuse for your drinking. Your father’s death. Your broken leg. The police taking your bike—”

“Hey, that was truly unfair,” he interrupted.

“And now your job. I want more of this life other than this trailer and surviving from week to week.”

He raked his hand through his hair. “Okay, honey. We can do that.”

“No!” She reached for her bag and began throwing her few belongings in it. “I can do it, but on my own.”

With heavy shoulders, she sat on the edge of the bed. “I need to do it,” she whispered. “I owe it to myself to find out whether I was meant for bigger things.”

At some point in her life, things had gone bad. She’d been raised by her mom, who had worked hard to make ends meet every day. Leaving her at the age of only twenty-two, Ivy had been in search for more in her life. More than working all day only to wake up the next morning to do it all over again—and not getting anywhere. Her mother had always said that much of life simply happened and was out of their control.

Well, Ivy disagreed.

This week’s Hook …

Well, Ivy disagreed.

She looked up at him and saw him raise a brow. “Bigger things?”

Letting out a big breath, she stood again and continued packing. “Yes, bigger things. A humble house with a small backyard. With flowers of all colours. Planting my own vegetables. Children to love and hug.” She turned and pointed at the tiny bathroom. “Something bigger than this little box.”

He lifted his shoulder in a shrug. “I’ll come with.”

“No, Dylan. This is going to be my journey.”

When he placed his hand on her arm, she slowly met his gaze.

“Honey, we can work on this.”

She exhaled another long breath. “We’ve been working on this for three years now, Dylan. It’s time to concede defeat.”

Concede defeat. She shivered at the phrase. Defeat meant battle. Had her relationship with Dylan been a battle? Was there a winner or a loser?
