The space between… Heart and Soul #8sunday #snippetsunday
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.
Last week : Rowan was waiting for the coffeehouse to close so Maverick could show her the apartment she's going to rent.
This is Rowan's POV.
***
Thirty minutes later, Maverick locked the front door behind the last patron and turned the sign in the window to state they were officially closed for the night. Katie donned her black and white plaid coat she had behind the bar with her purse and car keys. "Forecast says rain," she told them. "I'm looking forward to it. Welcome to the family, Rowan," she added as she headed to the back of the coffeehouse with Maverick following behind her. She couldn’t see them but she heard Maverick and Katie exchange a goodnight and a second later a soft click, which she could only assume was a door being closed.
Maverick returned and she couldn't help but notice how ruggedly handsome he was, even after working all day. His gaze met hers and for a meager few seconds, the silence seemed to take up space between them, like a barrier neither one of them could cross and if she glanced away the wall would separate them forever. She felt a moment of panic but Maverick spoke and the unsettling awkwardness disappeared.

Love to hear your feed back.
