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 The Dragon's Devotion for you. Bastien has had an upsetting evening, and he's gone to see Corentin. Corentin speaks first. (And it's a little more than six sentences—sorry! I thought it was necessary.)
“I didn’t expect to see you tonight. Did something happen?”
He stared down into his glass. How to answer that...because yes, something had happened, but it wasn’t something monumental in the grand scheme of the world, only to Bastien himself. And he really didn’t want to think about it any longer. But he couldn’t deny the allegation that something was wrong. Was Bastien so transparent tonight? Or had Corentin come to know him that well? “Something happened, but I don’t want to talk about it.”
“What then?”
Bastien looked up into Corentin’s eyes. The concern there warmed him in an odd way, but it wasn’t what he wanted at the moment. “Distract me.”
Corentin watched him closely for a moment before his lips curved slowly once more. Bastien felt the force of it straight to his gut. “I take it you’re not looking for an engaging conversation.”
