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 …
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?
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.
Having recently made the difficult decision to leave her boyfriend, Ivy Bennett is determined start over and find her own happiness. When she unexpectedly crosses paths with Jared, their meeting sets off a chain of events that will test them both in unforeseen ways.
While on this journey, can they both find the strength to let go of their pasts and embrace the possibility of a fresh beginning.
Nice bit. Glad she’s leaving
Thank you, Janet 🙂
wow: “Defeat meant battle.” powerful segment.
Thank you, Adriana 🙂
I’d be far from okay stuck in an elevator . . . even with a hunky guy. We had that happen at the department store where I worked decades ago and it was scary even for those not trap inside. Here’s to having that calm guy in that situation!
Thank you, Nancy. It’s not the nicest experience !
Her relationship with Dylan certainly seems to have been an uphill battle. Shared to Tumblr.
Thank you 🙂
