Rainbow Snippets: Attempted humour

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…

“Come.” He gestured for the spellster to continue walking. “We have the rest of the perimeter to check.”

“You mean this wasn’t a ploy to get me alone and feel me up?” The light-hearted lilt in his voice and the grin he flashed—although wobbly on the edges, carried an echo of the playfulness he had displayed before reaching the tower—took the edge off the words.

Tracker answered the attempt at humour with a smile of his own. “Even if I somehow deemed the timing as appropriate, I would hardly need to bring you out here for such fun. I told you, I enjoy the company.” He took up Dylan’s hand, linking their fingers without a twitch of rejection. “But we have been gone a while, we should keep moving.”

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