Setup for this snippet: WIP from Heart and Soul. This is a snippet from my new 'rock star romance' that I'm working on. It's in the very early stages. This is still Chapter One. Last week, we met George Herman, who frequents the coffeehouse daily. He just paid for his bill.

"I'll see you tomorrow," George said as he turned and headed for the door.
"He's gotta be the saddest man alive," Katie said as she placed a tray down on the bar.
Maverick glanced at her with a frown but before he could ask her what she meant, his attention was drawn to the door where George was holding it open for a young woman.
"They're closing," George told her.
"I know but I just need a moment with the owner."
"It's all right, George," he called to him, "we're not closed yet."
George nodded and made his way outside once the woman had crossed the threshold. As she drew closer, Maverick took in her features all at once – dark straight hair, smooth peach skin, dark lashes and rosy lips meant for kissing. She wasn't a local and yet there was something oddly familiar about her but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Love to hear your feed back.
