Here's another little snippet.

THANK YOU

“Advice is what we ask for when we already 

know the answer, but wish we didn't.”

 Emma sighed inwardly. In her early twenties and she still lacked confidence in what other people thought of her. Tucking an escaping strand of her tawny hair behind her ear, she tried to keep a positive attitude because, after all, she loved working at the All Stars Hotel in Melbourne. It was something she always wanted to do—to greet people to this beautiful city, and make their stay as comfortable as possible. And she was often told how popular she was with staff and guests alike for her positive attitude, her generous heart, and kind spirit.

“Ma’am, that’d be room five-o-two. If you go to the right over there, take the lift to the fifth floor and follow the hall to the near end, you will find room five-o-two on your right.”

Teresa Gibbs took the card from Emma and turned it in her hands.

“Ma’am, you slide that into the door instead of a key. I’m happy to ask someone to come with you and show–”

“I’ll be fine. Thank you.” And Mrs. Gibbs turned to go.

Emma leaned across the counter and smiled at Nadine. “Enjoy your holidays,” she said and winked. “And come see me sometime to tell me about the tooth fairy.”

“We’re not on a holiday,” the girl said in almost a whisper. “We’re here to meet my dad.”

Snippet Sunday - INNOCENT TEARS - 10/01/2016 #romance #reading #newrelease

INNOCENT TEARS will be re-released late-January.

It has enjoyed another full edit and an awesome new cover.

Here's another little snippet.

THANK YOU

~~~

Emma typed the name on the keyboard, and while she waited for the details, she smiled at the girl, and asked, “Holidays?”

Nadine’s face spread into a small smile, but it was enough to show she had her two top teeth missing.

“And I see the tooth fairy has been to see you recently.”

“Excuse me–” Mrs. Gibbs glanced at Emma’s name badge. “–Emma. Can we proceed with the check-in please?”

“My apologies, ma’am.” Emma read the details on the screen, made a few notes and turned around to activate the automated door card in the back office. All the while, she felt Mrs. Gibbs’ glare on her and instinctively pulled on her navy uniform skirt feeling slightly uncomfortable.

Snippet Sunday - "Every Mile of the Way" (WIP) 29/06/14

~~~

The story so far is, Sadie, born and raised in Australia, found her grandma's diary after her mother's passing. Intrigued by the diary and her mother's German background, she's on her way to Germany to meet her family over there. 

 ~~~

“I’m reall–” Sorry, I wanted to say, but the words stuck in my throat. Out of all the passengers, it’s Toby’s sinewy chest I have bumped into.

He stares at me, one brow slightly raised.

“Sorry,” I croak. Though, I’m not completely sure whether it refers to my inappropriate accusation in the airport or bumping into him.

In the semi-darkness, I can only make out a little nod.

Looking up to the toilet sign, I’m giving myself a two-second prep talk and look at him again. “And I’m terribly sorry for what I said earlier. There is just no excuses for it and I’m–”

He puts his fingers on my lips to silence me and at that moment I’m glad I’ve got one hand on one of the seats to hold me up.

“As much as I was annoyed by it, after thinking about it, it made sense. After all, you’ve only known me for a few hours.”

I didn’t expect that coming. But I’m really pleased and relieved.

“Excuse me.” The deep voice behind startles me.

Leaning closer to the seats to let the man go past me, I notice the chance to use the ladies’ room.

“Sorry, but I’ve gotta go,” I say to Toby, and I enter the small little cubicle to do my thing.

Thank you all for your support and kind comments.

I let out a big sigh. The couple next to me is awake, so I take the opportunity to get up and stretch my legs. As I wander along the aisle and to the toilets, I keep my gaze firmly on the ground. After spending the last hour reminiscing my time with David only to curse him for leaving me because I’m apparently not mature enough (highly overrated anyway, if you ask me), I don’t really feel like finding Toby and have some guilt dumped on me as well. I look up for the toilet signs and curse some more as they’re all occupied. I do some quick maths in my head – I’m leaning against a seat in row thirty-eight, three seats each side, four in the middle ... nope, it’s not working. My head’s aching from the lack of sunshine, fresh air and some decent food. Point is, though, eight toilets (or are there some hidden ones?) are just not enough for an airplane this size.

When I lean back to check the “occupancy lights” again, I bump into a hard chest.

David.

My partner of three and bit years. He was the love of my life, or at least so I thought. I was twenty-four when I moved from Tasmania to Sydney. I had applied for a job as an events manager, not believing I’d have a chance. But I got the job. Same day I got the good news, I was so excited I missed the bus. It was pouring rain. And that was when I met David, when he offered me half of his umbrella. Yes, that’s the kind of man he was. Well, I assume still is. Just not with me anymore, but with the other woman. Apparently, the one who’s more organised and more mature than me.

 

Sad.

More so, because I really miss him. I did love him and without wanting to admit it to myself, I still do.

About an hour later I sit back in an airplane going through all the same procedures as twelve hours earlier – storing away my on-board luggage in the overhead locker after taking out all the things I need right next to me and trying to make myself comfortable in my tiny seat next to the window (which is useless because it’s midnight and there’s not a thing to see in the distance). I steal a couple of glances around, but there’s no Toby.

He excused himself as we walked to the boarding gate. I assumed he had to visit the little boys’ room. One could say, that’s when I lost him, but I suppose Mum would argue I’d lost him when accusing him of picking up girls.

Mum! Pain cuts right through my heart and a sudden longing for her rises within me.

Have my words been plain rude? Or did I just freak out because a man, other than David was flirting with me?
