Rainbow Snippet April 22-23

4/22/2017

8 Comments

 
It's weekend, and time for more Rainbow Snippets. The Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook asks its members to share six sentence snippets from their work each weekend. Check out the group's Facebook page to read all the snippets and add lots of great books to your tbr. You'll find all sorts of books with the common thread that the main character identifies as LGBTQ+.

This week I have a snippet of conversation between brothers from The Scholar's Heart for you. I enjoyed exploring the relationship between brothers in Etan and Cathal and also in Tristan and his brother Maxen in this book.
Picture





​Etan had taken a few steps away when Cathal called him back. “Etan?” “Yes?”

“If what you did with Tristan... if it makes you happy, even a little,
for a little while, you can let yourself enjoy it. Let yourself be happy.”

“And if I end up hurt at the end of it?”

“Maybe you won’t be.” Cathal shook his head when Etan opened
his mouth to speak. “I know. You said Tristan doesn’t want anything more than to pass a little time enjoyably. But you said you wouldn’t want to try to build anything with him anyway. So if you know at the beginning what it is, why shouldn’t you allow yourself to enjoy it for however long it lasts?” 

You can find more about The Scholar's Heart here. Thanks for stopping by and reading!

Sounds like "however long it lasts" is going to be longer than he thinks.

Wise words. Unfortunately they fail to take into consideration that the heart doesn't always listen to the brain.

Oh, I agree he should enjoy it, but that's also a good way to get in deeper. Great snippet, Antonia.

Sounds like sage advice.

Hmm sounds dangerous to me. It's fine when both are looking for the same thing but intentions change and if it's one sided that can only end in disaster.

Hmm, are they lying to themselves, each other, or both?

Who is trying to fool whom, I wonder?
