🔥In this video, I’m reading a short excerpt from my adult dark fantasy, A Thin Witchline Between Love & Hate. Here Lucie Bellerose tries to shut out thoughts of her last night with Templeton before she fled the Empire.
Sound up! I hope you enjoy…
…I remembered the autumn night clearly. The air was cool, and a brisk breeze blew through my hair as we walked to my front door. I invited him inside for a last glass of wine. It wasn’t the first time he’d been in my house, so I didn’t think twice about it. He seemed uncomfortable as I poured us each a glass of red. We stood in my kitchen, watching each other.
Drawing in a shaky breath, I rolled to my side and pulled the pillow over my head. I didn’t want to think about what happened next. I didn’t want to think about how he moved closer.
How he set his wine glass on the counter behind me, the inside of his arm brushing my shoulder.
How I could smell the woodsy soap he used.
How he lifted his hand and caressed my cheek with his fingertips.
How I thought he was going to kiss me.
How he didn’t.
How instead he yanked his hand away, mumbled an abrupt goodnight, and bolted out of my home through my pantry door.
How the next morning I stood in my kitchen staring at the same pantry door thinking: I can’t do this.
I didn’t want to think about any of that.
