Rainbow Snippet January 16-17

1/17/2016

12 Comments

 
I've just joined the Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook, which invites authors to post six sentences from their work each weekend. My six sentences this weekend are from The Prince's Consort. This is when Philip first sees Amory.
Picture



​He looked young, younger even than Philip, and—
​

Philip’s mouth dried, his breath caught in his throat, and he stared. At the curling auburn hair and the slender, lithe body dressed in well-cut, well-made clothes. At the rich brown eyes staring back at him. They went almost comically wide and startled, but the young man didn’t look away, and Philip couldn’t bring himself to either. A delightful blush stained the man’s cheeks, and Philip wanted to grin. Who was this man?

Very nice! I think that's either lust or love at first sight - or both. :)
