Rainbow Snippets: Drawing scorn

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…

It was a while before the man unwound himself. He dried his face, giving a self-conscious little chuckle. “I really have to stop crying all over you.”

“I do not mind.”

Dylan ducked his head, the embarrassment behind his smile a little more familiar.

“But do me a favour and do not take our dear warrior’s words to heart. She may try to bury it deep within, but she still grieves for her fallen company.” Tracker had seen that look too many times to mistake the emotion behind it. “Until she acknowledges that pain, it will continue to fester. That you allow yourself to freely feel is likely what draws her scorn.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

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