Wewriwa – Things are steaming up in Hawk

Welcome back to Weekend Writing Warriors, the weekly hop where bloggers post their 8-10 line writing snippets.

 

Today I have a bit of romance for you.  I don’t write a whole of romance into my stories, because my characters tend to be dealing with a lot of war and death.  So, today here’s a little snippet from Hawk featuring Ora and Cor, two characters who’s names I would have rethought, had I realized they may well end up together.  To avoid confusion, Ora has magic that allows her to sense emotions.

 

 

She ached to touch him, but clasped her hands instead. “Cor, I’m sorry, about …”

He shook his head. “You don’t need to apologize. It’s not your fault if you don’t feel the same way.” His voice was soft, but Ora heard no censure, no accusation. Somehow, that made it hurt worse.

“That’s not it, I do-” She stopped.

Cor stared at her. “You do, what?” It was hard to read his expression in the near dark, but his emotions were in a riot.

 

Thanks for stopping by.  Sound off in the comments and let me know what you think.
