Hi everyone – It’s time to move on …
I’m sharing a 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.
Enjoy ♥♥
This week’s Hook …
Jared Fraser took in the cheerful and relaxed atmosphere of the packed chapel. Every pew was filled, and ushers did their best showing the guests to their seats. Surprising, because he’d been told it was going to be a small ceremony, with only close friends attending. More surprising, however, was that he had received an invitation since the wedding couple, Zach and Natasha, weren’t even programmed into his phone speed dial and there were ten speed dial buttons. Or maybe twelve? He wasn’t sure.
Natasha had come to see him a few months earlier and asked him whether he would be able to help with the floral arrangements.
“Darling, I’m a landscaper, not a florist,” he’d explained.
She’d stared at him with her beautiful dark blue eyes. “Your point is?”
Pinching the bridge of his nose with his finger and thumb, he had replied, “You’ve studied at university. Didn’t they tell you about the difference?”
“Jared. I studied teaching, not botany.”
Blurb:
Jared Fraser from Hobart, Australia, embarks on a journey in a motorhome down the legendary American Route 66. Yet, his travels take a couple of unexpected turns from his initial plans. One of which is meeting Ivy, a beautiful hitchhiker. As they spend time together, she captivates Jared and stirs long-dormant emotions within him.
