“Felix,” she says, lifting warm brown eyes up to his. He
focuses on her chapped lips, and all he can think of is how she tasted -how
soon he can fit his own there again. “I’m not going back to the Box.”
His heart gives a painful thud, and for a second he can’t
speak. He can hardly breathe.
“Not as long as I exist,” he tells her in a strangled
voice. “I’ll take you to Mercury first.”
“I’m not going to Mercury with you, no-brains,” she
replies, her voice a croak. “I’m not going anywhere with you.”
Felix laughs. “Keep talking like that and I might drop you,” he says.
“Keep talking like that and I might punch you,” she replies.
Her breath catches.
“How do you feel?” he asks her immediately. “Are you ok?”
“Of course I’m not ok,” she says and he grits his teeth.
“I’m mad,” she adds.
“What?” he says, taken by surprise, and she tries to laugh
but ends up choking on a rasping breath.
“I’ve only just found you,” she says as soon as she can
breathe, her voice the sound of sadness. “And already I’m leaving.”
Felix stumbles, even though he wasn’t walking.
He settles her in his arms, noticing the teardrops that
are sparkling on her lashes. “Astra…” he begins, but he can’t go on.

I can’t stand the gorgeousness… It’s not every day that someone reads your book and GETS every single detail. Thank you so much, Drew.

Being Lizzy Bennet
In honor of #teasertuesday here is a readers’ favorite scene from my NA contemporary novel, Lose Me.
Enjoy!
I glance at my watch. It’s barely five minutes past.
Turns out that what Tim said to me the first day was kind of an understatement. Elle really doesn’t do water. Like, at all.
So, they tell me I’m to be her.
There’s this scene towards the end of the film, where Will and Lizzie are sitting on their surfboards in the calm sea, talking. That’s where we’ll start. They put a dark-haired wig on me, because Elle will be a brunette as Lizzie in the film. It’s close enough to my own hair color, but they want it to be exactly like hers, so whatever. Then they spray tons of makeup on my shoulders and back. I’m wearing a version of the impossibly white bikini Elle will be wearing in this scene.
It will be only close-ups of her face while she delivers her lines. When Wes talks, it will be the back of my head on the screen. Matt comes over quietly, as the makeup team struggle to make my really tan and toned arms look bony like Elle’s, and looks me in the eye.
“I know it’s too soon, but go with it,” he says. “I know you can do it.”
Anyone recognize any Pride and Prejudice quotes in this post?
