I’ll walk you to your door. Heart and Soul #8sunday #snippetsunday
Keep in mind Heart and Soul is a WIP.
This is in Maverick's POV.

"I've locked up everything
back there," Rowan said as she headed up front to the coffeehouse.
"Is there anything else I could help with?"
"I was just about to ask
you if you needed any help. We're finished up here too."
"Night, boss," Ryan
said. He'd cut his ginger-colored locks and colored the strands with black
streaks.
"Good night," he called back as his cook headed out the back door. He turned to Rowan. "I'll walk you to your door if you're heading upstairs." He didn't know if she had other plans for the night.
(This is the end of 10 sentences. for Weekend Warriors. Continue for Snippet Sunday 300 words or less, if you wish. :))
In his early twenties, he'd just be heading out to start his night. Some of the clubs didn't get started until after ten. Maybe she was a night owl and the evening was still young for her.
"I'm beat," she said on
a sigh. "I'm calling it a night."
He almost smiled but didn't
want to reveal how much her statement thrilled him. They headed for the stairs
at the side of the building, and he wished he could prolong their walk, but
living above the place you worked proved to hamper such things. He wanted to
know Rowan better but a minute walk every night would take a lifetime to get to
know someone. They hadn't chatted much tonight at work, and the conversation
they began earlier with Katie about ghosts had been interrupted, though the
topic gave him an idea to pursue. "You weren't freaked out earlier when we
were talking about ghosts were you?"
"Not at all. The subject
fascinates me."
As they reached the top of the
stairs and he glanced at her. "If you're interested, there are unofficial
ghost tours at the Moor Lake Water Park during October."
"Unofficial tours?"
she questioned with amusement lacing her words.

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?
