INNOCENT TEARS has been re-released.

Here's another little snippet.
THANK YOU

“Advice is what we ask for when we already
know the answer, but wish we didn't.”
Flynn
looked up at Teresa. He wasn’t sure whether he wanted to discuss anything else.
In fact, he hadn’t discussed anything yet, and as far as he was concerned, he
just received one of the biggest blows in his life. His beautiful Saz was dead,
and he hadn’t been by her side to comfort her.
He
moved his head and looked out the window onto the busy streets of Melbourne. A smile
played at the corner of his mouth as he remembered the first time he had met Sarah.
He had been the new guy at school, and she had offered him the seat next to
her. Of course, it was awkward for him to be the only boy sitting next to a
girl, but after only a few minutes he wasn’t able to take his eyes off her. He
even had a few chuckles watching the frustration grow within her with the struggle
to contain her curly hair. She was constantly pinning back another escaped
strand of hair with a bobby pin, resulting in a big messy hair do at the end of
the day. And as he’d found out over the next months, it was a continuous
battle. One day, he was taking her home on his bike when she had a flat tyre, and
he remembered the light kiss she gave him on his cheek as she thanked him. He
was in love. Even at his fifteen years he couldn’t think of anything or anybody
else but Sarah. She was the one for him. Though still a teenager herself, she
had already radiated a mature calm. She seemed carefree and innocent. A trait
he had always admired in her. Considering the strict upbringing by her mother,
Sarah had always maintained her cheerful nature. And her headstrong nature and
impulsiveness often clashed with Teresa’s authority.
Teresa
interrupted his thoughts. “Flynn!”
Flynn slowly stared up
at her.

DeleteI really don't like Teresa. I wonder what she wants next. I hope Flynn can deal with her.
ReplyDeleteI believe he can deal with her, you never know, though, what else she has in store for him. ;-) Thanks for stopping by, Linda.
DeleteSuch a bittersweet scene. (And I hadn't realized that Teresa was Sarah's mother.)
ReplyDeleteHmm ... I hope that's something because of the weekly snippet, but is clear in the book.
DeleteThanks PT!
Well, that's sad for sure, but at least he has memories to cling to.
