Non-novel Excerpt

March 24, 2009 by Amy

I’ve been using my extra time to write the past few days.  I thought I’d finally post a little excerpt.  I’m not sure if it’s the best one or right one to share but it’s something.  It hasn’t been edited so forgive any blatant errors.

I shook my head in understanding as Dominic kissed the back of my hands.  I couldn’t help but pull him close for a hug and whispered I’m sorry, feeling like the coward I was.  We stayed embraced for a long time.  I felt his beard gently scratching at my ear.  His hands were wrapped around me, cupping either side of my rib cage.  I felt cradled yet unlike a child peaceful with his mother.  Dominic pulled away first and I think I may have caught a glint of anger in his eyes.  Maybe hurt. I wasn’t very familiar with either from him.  It was a quiet walk to the door where I whispered good bye and shut the door.

    Very, very nice. I look forward to reading more. You’ve clearly got a gift for being nicely descriptive without being overly-descriptive, if that makes sense. Great job!

    Can it be at the Grove Park? Because I bet I could get a lot of reading done in the spa. 🙂
