Rainbow Snippets: The same temper…

Rainbow Snippets is a Facebook group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week and share six sentences from a work of fiction–a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation.

Being a sequel, In Love and Death is set directly after In Pain and Blood. Some snippets will contain spoilers of those events.

Following last week’s snippet…

“I know,” Dylan said. “But she has the same temper as—” The man drifted into silence, staring into the fire. He stayed there for a time, his breathing growing increasingly laboured. The swell of his magic wavered with the same intensity, like a droplet not quite caught by the tide. “What I meant to say is she reminds me of…” His voice dissolved into a crackling sob.

Tracker laid a hand on Dylan’s back, barely making contact at first, then rubbing in gentle circles as the touch wasn’t rejected. Unbidden whispers of reassurance slipped out his lips. How much the man heard over his sobs was debateable, but it definitely helped still the erratic flares of magic.

I’ll see you all with more from In Love and Death next week. In the meantime, check out these other snippets.
