“Advice is what we ask for when we already
know the answer, but wish we didn't.”
I've moved forward a little ... Flynn McCormack is now sitting in the
hotel cafe with Teresa and William Gibbs. This is the start of their conversation.
Flynn had liked her <Sarah> from the first day he had seen her in high school after he had moved to Launceston with his parents. Her brown curly hair, the freckles she had
desperately tried to cover with make-up. And her smile! He had never forgotten her
smile.
“How’re you going, Will?”
“I can’t complain, son,” William smiled. “I retired last year and I’m glad we’re having–”
“William!” Teresa interrupted in a harsh voice.
Flynn’s mouth curved into a bitter smile as he shook his head. Nothing had changed
between these two people. “Retired, eh?”
William nodded, but it seemed he knew better than to say anything else. They all
watched the waiter as he placed another tray of tea onto the table. William dunked the teabag a few times, then took a sip. “You seem to be doing well, son.”
Flynn choked back a chuckle, and echoed the same sentiment. “Can’t complain.”
“Well,” Teresa interrupted. “We haven’t got all day, and we have to get back to the
room soon.”
“Suits me fine.” Flynn replied nonchalantly.
“We need to talk to you about Sarah.”
Flynn’s eyebrows shot up as he turned to her. She had his attention. “How is Saz?”

ReplyDeleteThank you, Emmy. Glad you like it.
DeleteTeresa is forceful, isn't she? Right to the point with that one. Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteYes, she isn't the easiest person to get along with. Thanks for stopping by, Jennifer.
DeleteWow, Teresa wants to get straight to the point, she is not very friendly. I don't think I would like to be interrupted like that. I guess William must be used to it.
ReplyDeleteOr resigned to it? Thanks Linda.
DeleteI'm not much for small talk and I'm all for getting straight to the point, but she takes it to extremes, doesn't she?
ReplyDeleteLOL ... yes she does. Thanks for stopping by, PT.
DeleteFun snippet...love me some dialogue. Teresa sure sounds like a shrew...
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteTeresa annoys the daylights out of me, but that's her purpose. I'm intrigued what's now wrong with Sarah in her estimation. Good snippet, Iris.
ReplyDeleteLOL re being annoying. You're not the only one I'd say. Glad you liked it, Siobhan.
DeleteI'm curious to know more about Sarah. I'm sure Teresa will say it how it is. lol
ReplyDeleteShe will indeed ... very soon. Thanks Karen.
DeleteThat Theresa is intriguing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elaine.
DeleteI want to know about Sarah! Captured a great sense of a slightly awkward conversation with lots going unsaid, which makes Teresa's sudden outburst all the more abrupt.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rachel. Glad the scene comes across as it was intended to be. Awkward.
DeleteI wonder what he's not supposed to talk about?
ReplyDeleteWe'll find out soon. Thanks for stopping by, Ed.
DeleteSo much history between them that I want to know more about! Great dialogue and cliffhanger!

Thank you, Joyce. Glad you liked it.
DeleteTheresa sounds like a bit of a shrew/
ReplyDeleteA bit? LOL. Thanks for stopping by, Chelle.
DeleteYou know, the more and more I see of Theresa, I kind of just want to slap her. Or maybe dump that tea on her head...
ReplyDeleteLOL ... I'm sure you're not the only one. Thank you for stopping by.
