A Refusal, Windmaster Legend #WeWriWa

​ 
Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors, the weekly hop for everyone who loves to write! Visit the other participants on the list and read, and comment on their 8sunday posts.


​Today's excerpt is from Windmaster Legend, a love story set in the world of The Windmaster Novels. To set, the scene, it is the night of the captains' summer gathering. Leod saw a woman sitting off by herself. He's offered her wine and asked for a dance by saying, "A man only has the opportunity once in his life to have such a beautiful companion, let alone one bard-trained.”

However, his desire for her companionship doesn't quite go as planned. And now the SundaySnippet.

The slight tightening of the woman's lips gave Leod little insight into what he had said wrong. Still, he held the smile that had won over so many women.
 
His target still didn’t submit. Instead, she gave a slight shake of her head. “I appreciate the compliment. However, I am quite content where I am. Maybe you should return to the dance.” Her head-to-toe scan of him added to the fire building under Leod’s skin. “There should be someone there suitable for you.”
