Six Sentence Sunday–As Long As You’re Mine

Welcome back to Six Sentence Sunday.  My thanks again to those who visit me every week.  I do appreciate your comments so please, let me know what you think of my six.  This week we find out more about the note Raif left for Samantha.  Enjoy!

“Sometime after eleven, Lady Armstrong approached me and told me my things had been moved to another room because their nephew had arrived unexpectedly and that room is always reserved for him; but I put all that in the note I left you.”

            “I was in my room until after two o’clock, Raif, and I saw no note.”

            “I left it on your pillow, where you couldn’t miss it.”

            Samantha stared at him, and in a tightly reined voice asked,  “You thought I wouldn’t miss it on the pillow I had no intentions of sleeping on?”

            His eyes widened as his mouth formed the word, “Oh.”

            At that moment Samantha was almost glad she was not going to be trapped forever with this idiot.

Hope you enjoyed these six from As Long As You’re Mine. For more great snippets please go to Six Sentence Sunday.  Or join in the fun next week with six of your own.

      Thanks so much, Sandra. Having worked in the theatre, I love creating dialogue that depicts the characters as much as the narration does. The power of words that we know so well!

  8. I am really enjoying this story, as it seems everyone else is too. 🙂 I’m not sure which one will be worse for her to end up with. LOL I hope it works out for her though.

      Thanks, Jessica. I’m glad you and the other commenters are enjoying the story too. It was quite fun to write. And of course Sam ends up with the best guy, she just doesn’t know it yet!

  10. Raif gets an F for “foolish” in Planning. I feel kinda sorry for him. Had he just done his part, he’d have a lovely lady to lead him around by the…nose. Ah well.

    Great six, Jenna. You do know how to pick ’em!

      Thanks, Trish. Somehow I don’t think he’d like being lead by Samantha–no matter what she was leading him by. She would have eaten him for lunch. And not in the pleasant way!

    Historically speaking I think we can all agree men are often clueless. Great way to show it again. (And thanks for the headsup about my blog. I let my tech guy know.)
