I hope you’re liking the story so far.
It’s fun to write, yet, challenging at the same time.
Enjoy ♥
Today’s Snippet
She stared at him, the soaked clothes now cooling her to the point she shivered. “Never mind. You just killed the mood by reminding me—”
“How much fun it was.”
Nodding, she moved away towards the edge of the creek, desperate to find something to help her get dry. At least a little.
“Tell me, Hannah,” he said, following her, his voice still holding happiness. “Where did you learn to build dams like this?”
Shaking her head, she kept walking towards the car, tired of his questions. “Dad used to take us to this creek during summer for a barbeque and he showed me all sorts of things. Including how to build a dam. Or build little boats out of tree bark.”
“Which creek was that?”
She shot around and huffed an exaggerated sigh. “Who cares?”
With eyebrows raised, he replied, “I do.”
The dam they’d built only minutes earlier was still solid and holding back some of the water. A smiled tugged at her lips at all the memories of her family’s weekends away to this creek. Which creek had it been? And why did he need to know?
She met his gaze, a smile still lingering on his face, as she said just above a whisper, “Bigalow Creek. Dad took us to a place called Bigalow Creek.”
Thanks for all your comments,
I do appreciate each single one of them!

I’m with her. Why is he asking so many questions and why is it important to him? If it’s just the “trying to know you” it’s exasperating her more than anything else, lol.
He’s trying hard for her to make the connections. 🙂 He’s the good guy!
I have a feeling he is connected to the creek in some way.
Yes, kind of, but emphasis is more on the name. 🙂
She’s resisting, he’s persisting. Great tension.
Thank you Shari.
Ooh, that seems like a major clue of some sort! Enjoyed the snippet and the way he’s working to get through to her.
Yes it is 🙂 Thanks for stopping by Veronica.
I want to know why he’s asking. So curious.
He needs her to ask for her to understand who he is 😉
I am getting so drawn into this story… And I wonder what happened to her to make her so… non happy.
And I may be a little confused. When they talked about “this creek” I thought they were referring to the one they’re at.
Thank you PT, and thanks re the “this creek”. I’ll better clarify that 🙂 Much appreciated.
