So, today I’m not feeling so hot, which is the reason I’m posting this later than normal.  The snippet is also going to be shorter than normal. Couldn’t read over a longer bit, but I think I’ve got a great snippet here. So it might balance out. This is from a release that won’t come out until 2009. It’s currently unedited so bear with me. It’s called Laid in Show. Hope you like it.

“She’s not normally so friendly. I guess she recognizes her father.”

River’s body stilled as his golden gaze snapped to Lark’s. “I didn’t know you thought of me in that way.”

“You are the one who gave her to me.”

River watched her face for several seconds before speaking. “Where are you staying?”

“The family loft.”

“The same one you stayed in while we were at Columbia?”

“Yes.”

“Are you free for dinner tonight?”

Lark shook her head. There was no way she could go to dinner with him. That much time near a straight male in his prime would be asking for trouble. “No. I…already have plans.”

River took two steps towards her, his eyes glowing so brightly they resembled gold.  He was riled up.

“Cancel them, Lark.”

“I…I can’t. I’m preparing Marilyn for tomorrow.”

The amber light in River’s gaze darkened, becoming a burnt gold. He had passed the riled up point and was simply angry. “You keep pushing me away despite the fact that I’m supposed to be your friend.”

“You are my friend,” she said quickly, trying to placate the beast.

“Then, I’ll see you at seven.” He pivoted on his heel and strode away from her. “Seven o’clock,” he threw over his shoulder as he walked away.

Lark stared at him dumbfounded. River was no longer the boy she remembered, and she didn’t know how she felt about that.

Until next time…
