Rainbow Snippets January 12th
Our first major snowstorm has struck…now to get outside and make snow sculptures! What do you do when snow hits?
I’m posting again from This Time Around (which is a rework of Refugees which is the sequel to For the Heart of Phillip). Drama was everywhere in the first book; but it’s been tamed in this volume, which follows Robert and David’s journey after things didn’t go as planned in book one.
FYI: The scene from last week mentions Robert’s father, Mark, had gone after Phillip. This scene is played out in the book prior to this, For the Heart of Phillip.
This book is now available only at Amazon

To set the stage: (spoiler alert)!!! In the first book, Robert and Phillip break up and David and Andrew break up.
We continue this week with the focus on Robert and what he does after he left Phillip. Robert’s father, Mark, had gone after Phillip, leaving Robert in his mother Cassie’s care. This completes the scene.
His mother rubbed his arms. “Anything I can do?”
“No, Mom. Thanks. I’ll be alright. Got a lot of unpacking to do. Go be with that adorable little brother of mine.”
She pursed her lips and kissed his cheek, leaving a tinge of red behind. “If you’re sure, sweetie. I’m glad you’re home again. Missed you.”
“Missed you too, Mom. Just wish this whole thing wouldn’t have happened. I should’ve spared myself.”
They both nodded. Cassie walked out the door and Robert turned to face his task of unpacking.
Not long after he tore into his task, a car door slammed outside. Flustered, Robert met his father at the front door. “Why did you do that? I can stand up for myself!”
“Really? What he needed was to get a right hook in the jaw! No one treats my son like that. I don’t care how old you are.”
He knew his father’s heart was in the right place, even if his sense wasn’t. He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. His nerves made him fidget so he shoved his hands into his pockets and cocked his head. “So, what happened there, Dad?”
“Nothing, don’t worry. No one got hurt, as much as I wanted to pound that smug asshole’s face into the floor for you!”
Robert rolled his eyes and groaned. “That wouldn’t have helped. I’m glad you didn’t get arrested!”
“Oh, he knew better than to do that! I’m glad you’re here, boy. You don’t need to be around that family.”
His lower lip trembled and he met his father’s blue eyes. “Thanks, Dad.” He found himself encased in a bear hug.
“We love you, boy. Nobody does that to my son.”
Cassie shut the door, cleared her throat and joined the hug. “I agree. Come on, it’s time for dinner.”
