Why so flustered? Heart and Soul #8sunday #snippetsunday
Keep in mind Heart and Soul is a WIP.
This is in Maverick's POV.
***
Maverick glanced up from behind
the bar when Rowan arrived for work, a bit flustered and her hair somewhat
mussed.
Katie strode over to her with a
grin plastered to her face. "Lordy girl, what have you been doing?"
He'd been wondering the same thing. Katie's hand went for the hair ornament in
Rowan's hair and plucked it out. It appeared to be foliage of some sort.
"Oh that," Rowan said and grabbed it out of Katie's hand. "I went for a stroll. I must have picked this up then." Her face flushed a brighter pink.
(This is the end of 10 sentences. for Weekend Warriors. Continue for Snippet Sunday 300 words or less, if you wish. :))
Katie chuckled. "Where did
you go hiking?"
There were plenty of trails, providing great views from the downtown Los Angeles to the Pacific Ocean, others adjacent to the Angels National Forest, but Rowan's feet were adorned with pretty sandals. Not exactly footwear for the hiking trails.
"Um... I'm little
embarrassed to say I took a wrong turn and ended up on a trail toward Lake
Moor."
Maverick stood up taller.
"Lake Moor Water Park?"
She shrugged. "I guess
so."
"That's been closed for
ages. Heck, since the late 80s I believe."
"I didn't go too far. I
thought I saw... something in the road and swerved. Ended up in a ditch. I
must've snagged this souvenir when I stepped outside the car to inspect the
damage." She lifted her hand holding the greenery Katie had plucked from
her strands a moment before." Thank God, everything appeared to be
okay."
She was telling the truth, but the way she was biting on her lower lip made him think she was keeping something back. She headed over the bar and placed her purse in one of the secure cubbies he had for the employees. "So what was in the road?" he asked.

About Heart and Soul...
80s rock star, Haley Rose went missing without a trace on October 31
1988 and was eventually presumed dead. Three decades later, a
thirty-year old woman, Rowan Beckett recalls things only Haley Rose
would know and she can belt out songs in the same fashion as the missing
80s star. However, Rowan couldn't be the missing rock star since the
woman would now be in her fifties. Could Haley Rose have came back
reincarnated as Rowan Beckett?
