I’ve occasionally been posting snipps to a work in progress thing on Bluesky, and I thought I’d start posting those here as well. For this first one, a valentine special with a snippet from Second Down with the first date between Blake and Melanie.
“Speaking of entertainment,” Elton said, “what’s with you playing matchmaker with my sister and that new kid?”
“Eduardo’s a good guy,” I said. “And Sarah seems to like him.”
“Yeah, well.” Elton crossed his arms. “If anything happens to her …”
“You’ll come after me. Got it.”
“As long as we’re clear,” he growled, but there was a hint of a smile on his face.
“Alright, let’s leave the lovebirds alone,” Jerry said, herding the others away.
They settled at a table across the restaurant, occasionally throwing thumbs up and kissy faces our way.
“Sorry about them,” I said.
“Don’t be. It’s sweet how they look out for each other.” Melanie stole one of my fries. “Even if they’re huge dorks about it.”
