Rainbow Snippets: No apology needed.

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…

Eventually, there was no sound save for the occasional sniff from the spellster and the scrape of Tracker’s hand across the man’s robe.

“This person she reminds you of,” Tracker said, mindful how Dylan’s back stiffened beneath his fingers. “You were close, yes?”

Dylan nodded. “Since we were children. A lot of us were. We…” His voice cracked. He scrubbed at his face with his sleeve. “Sorry, I—”

“No.” Tracker shuffled on the spot to fully face the man. “Do not apologise for your grief.” It hadn’t even been a full day since they had left the tower behind. “No one expects you to put aside your mourning.” For someone who had lost his home only yesterday, the man was holding himself together remarkably well.

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