Thank you all for visiting and commenting the last few weeks as I introduced you to my two characters of the upcoming release "Fresh Beginnings".
It's time for a new story ... as yet untitled.
Meet Jeri.

She drank the last little bit of her wine, paid, and left. A deep disappointment settled in the pit of Jeri’s stomach. It surprised her, because it hadn’t been the first time she’d been on a blind date, with the guy not showing up. She choked back a laugh as she thought of the man she’d met only a few weeks earlier. Admittedly, he was nice, but not at all what he’d pretended to be in the details she received from the “Your Future Heart” agency.
Yet,
this rejection hurt inside. Olivia had told her so much about her neighbour,
and she trusted her friend’s daughter when she’d said He’ll be there.

Thank you all for your support and kind comments.
I do appreciate each single one of them!

OOh, great suspense. Now I want the guy to show up unexpected somewhere else. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by ... you're on the right path there ... ;-)
DeleteMaybe he was there -- and chickened out.
ReplyDeleteNice 8!
Thank you Frank ... might be an idea.
DeleteAh, the joys of meeting (or not meeting) people... I'm curious to find out what happened to him that he wasn't there. (And I hope he's not the guy from the agency...)
ReplyDeleteThanks PT .... I'm quite liking the idea where this story is heading.
DeleteI hope he is not dead... hum, that would be the only acceptable excuse so, not to show up without warning.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha ... that'd be an idea :-) Thanks for stopping by Linda!
DeleteGood snippet, Iris. I can feel her disappointment.
ReplyDeleteThanks Siobhan. Not a situation one wants to be in ....
DeleteThe dating game. Ugh. I definitely want to read more, to see what held him up!
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks Sarah. I appreciate it!
DeleteNice work. You've created a bit of mystery here.

DeleteI could feel her disappointment and rightly so. Great snippet. Makes me want to know more.
