#SixSunday - Lucas Pulls Away

For this week's post from ONCE AGAIN, my YA Paranormal Romance that's currently available in eBook and print (links to the right), we're again exploring Layla's doubts about Luke's feelings. While she doesn't believe him to be dishonest, she worries that what he feels is merely a result of what he remembers of their past life. In the following snippet, we've fast-forwarded several chapters from last week's post. The truth of the tragedy they suffered in their previous existence has been revealed to them in a harrowing dream, and the two of them have vastly different reactions.



He withheld himself from me, in a way I couldn't describe orput my finger on, but weighed on my heart nonetheless.
Our reactions to the last dreams could not have been moredifferent. I wanted nothing more than to be closer to him after watching himdie and seeing my own death. I supposed for Lucas, the opposite was true. Hewas pulling away.
As if I needed another reason to wonder if what he felt forme was real or just leftover from the past.
Happy reading and writing!
