Rainbow Snippet June 9-10

6/9/2018

9 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+.

​I have another snippet from The Merchant's Love for you today. This one takes place not long after last week's snippet. Faelen and Maxen didn't dance, but they do spend quite a while talking that night.
Picture



​They walked the perimeter of the room in slow loops. Faelen had no idea how many, or how much time passed while they strolled and talked and sipped wine. Long enough that it was probably conspicuous, but no one interrupted them. Faelen didn’t think about it while they circled the room, but he certainly did when they stopped. And they might not have, might have just kept on until the ballroom emptied around them, if everyone hadn’t stopped what they were doing to wave Etan and Tristan goodbye.

​
Maxen looked as surprised and befuddled as Faelen felt, which went a long way toward reassuring Faelen—the obliviousness to the outside world hadn’t been only on his part.

“I suppose we should say good night,” Maxen said, though he didn’t look as if he wanted to do that at all. 


The Merchant's Love will be out on June 18th (a little more than a week!). You can read more about it and find links here. Also, The Prince's Consort is 99 cents all month for Pride Month, if you haven't read it yet. Thanks for reading today!

I love how wrapped up in each other they were, off in their own little world.

Sounds like neither wants this night to end.

Getting so wrapped up in a conversation that everything else disappears is amazing. I love when that happens - and I hope Faelen and Maxen do, too.

Just a wee bit of tension going on here.

It sounds as if when they eventually drag themselves away from each other, they won't be able to stop thinking about each other. Lovely scene.
