Today’s Snippet

“Now, don’t freak out again.” He held up his hand. “I won’t hurt you. I actually can’t.”
“Ah … ahh … ahh…” A mix of fear and curiosity shot through her, and as much as she wanted to step back to grab her phone, she was frozen to the spot.
“For a highly educated medical person you seem to be lacking proper articulation.” He sat on a chair. “How about you have your glass of water and join me so I can answer your questions.”
“Ah … I … how …” Hannah took a deep breath as she studied him. Quite to her disbelief her mouth curved into a smile as she took in his wild, curly black hair. Clearly, he was too busy breaking into houses instead of visiting a hairdresser. His bright blue eyes drew her in, most likely the reason why she didn’t scream murder and called the police. Carefully, and yes courageously, she stepped to the sink, grabbed a glass and filled it, never leaving him out of her sight … or the block of knives on the kitchen bench. Nothing about him made sense. Attractive, but at the same time neglected, the hair, the clothes, good Lord, the suit he wore was something from the seventies. But underneath it seemed he hid a well-shaped body. Looking at his pale face, she was tempted to offer him a drink and some food.
“Ah … ehrm … did you break in because you have nowhere to go?” she croaked, finally taking a sip of her water.
He cocked a brow. “Really?” Leaning forward, he rested his elbows on the table. “This is going to be harder than expected.”
“Ah … okay … as in … what?”
“Do you really think I could’ve run from your friend’s place to here and break into your house?”
Now that he put it that way, it did sound ridiculous, but …
“Who the hell are you? And how did you get in here?”
A mischievous smile spread across his face and suddenly he looked sexy as hell. A simple smile did that. One simple smile.
“My name is Bigalow.”

Today’s Snippet

It was only a ten minute drive home and because Fermosa Bay was such a small place, she’d been along these streets often enough. The coastal town was a safe place, she’d figured that within the only few months she’d lived here. The complete opposite to Sydney. Yet, tonight was different. Unable to stop herself, she kept looking towards the passenger seat and checked the back seats via the rearview mirror. There was no way she was going to check the boot. If the guy was hiding in there, for all she cared, he could get out of there on his own too.
She checked again: passenger seat, then the backseats. Nothing.
Was she going insane in this small place? Was she really this stressed that she was seeing things?
Quicker than usual, she arrived at her house and quicker than usual, she grabbed her bag and rushed inside, slamming the door shut right behind her. It took her a few deep breaths until her heart rate returned to anything close to normal and she switched on the light. She placed her bag on the chest of drawers in the hall before she went into the kitchen for a glass of water. No way would she touch any alcohol tonight. She flicked the light switch and stepped towards the fridge.
“Now, don’t freak out again.”

“I’ve been here the whole time,” he replied with some feigned offense.
Hannah grabbed her bag and reached for the door handle to get out of the car. “I’ll call the police.” Fear shot through her as she fumbled with her phone, dialling triple zero. Breathing was hard and she stepped away from the car, taking another look at the man in her car to best describe him.
But he was gone.
Hannah rubbed her eyes vigorously, ignoring her makeup, and looked again. Gone. Disconnecting the call, she carefully walked around the car. Nothing. She gazed into the dark distance, but wasn’t able to see anything either. Her body trembled but she got back into the car. She locked the doors, checked the backseats, and took a few deep breaths before driving off.
What the hell had just happened? Another look into the distance, but all she saw was everyone gone and a quiet local street.
A sob escaped her from the adrenaline. She had to get home as quick as possible.

Today’s Snippet

They left Liz’ house in a group and chatted a little more about the storm front which was on its way as they walked to their cars. Hannah gave a quick wave goodbye as she opened the car and then slid behind the steering wheel.
“Oh Hannah,” Kerry said.
She flinched as her book friend stood next to her car suddenly.
“My apologies. I didn’t mean to startle you.” Kerry looked around before she focussed on Hannah again. “Are you still good for the BBQ on Friday?”
She had to dig deep in her memory to find the facts about the invitation when she finally remembered that Kerry had asked her to join her and some friends for a BBQ to celebrate her husband’s birthday. Kerry had been relentless so in the end Hannah had given in.
“Of course, seven-thirty at your place. I look forward to it.”
“Great. I’ll see you then,” Kerry said and walked to her own car.
Hannah settled behind the steering wheel and started the car.
“Another person who would like to play cupid?”
Hannah jumped in her seat and turned to look at the person in the passenger seat. “How the hell did you get in here?”

Placing a hand on Hannah’s arm, Liz suggested, “How about you choose the book for next month’s meeting?”
Well, she’d just kicked herself in the butt. How on earth would she be able to choose a book when she’d dislike more or less any of the books they’d read so far. Why on earth was she even here?
So she wasn’t stuck alone at home.
“Any genre?” she asked.
Although wary, the women around her nodded.
“Okay, I can do that. I suppose it should be available in the library.”
Again, everyone agreed.
“And you’d like to have the suggestion by Tuesday?”
“Yes, please,” Liz replied.
Hannah had no idea, why she was going on with this farce, but she promised her parents to get to know the people in Fermosa Bay, a small coastal town in Victoria, where she only moved recently for her to take over the small medical centre. She promised her family to make friends. And she promised her mother to be nice to men.
Well, she did make that promise with her fingers crossed behind her back.
