Rainbow Snippet January 14-15

1/14/2017

11 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 weekend, I'm sharing a bit of The Scholar's Heart. In this snippet, Tristan's baby daughter has been kidnapped, and Etan is trying to be there for him—if Tristan will let him.

​“You don’t have to treat me as if I’m fragile. I’m going to be strong for Bria. I’m not going to break.” Tristan’s voice was strained, but his tone was strong as he straightened his spine, pulling away from Etan an
infinitesimal amount that Etan nevertheless felt.

​
“You can, you know,” he said quietly, trying to convey all his feelings, all that he would do for Tristan in just his voice as he spoke the words. “You can break if you need to, here, with me. I’ll be here, and I’ll hold on to you, and I’ll help you put the pieces back together.” 


If you'd like to know more about The Scholar's Heart, you can find it here. Thanks for reading, everyone! Hope you have a lovely weekend!

I'm melting.

And Etan has a point. Sometimes you have to break when you can so you won't later.
