From Red Tulip - Darcy thinks she hears his voice but can't find her mysterious stranger #FridaySnippets

Scene set - continuing from last week's snippet - Darcy is taking the subway home. A fellow commuter has fallen asleep and the Vogue she is reading slides off her lap onto the floor next to Darcy.



The magazine slipped a bit more and settled on the floor. My gaze riveted to the open page. An advertisement for an exquisite piece of jewellery, but it was the colour of the emeralds that captured my attention. They were the same shade of green as his eyes.A tingle raced through my body just thinking about his eyes. They held a power that reached into me and for those brief moments of contact made me light-hearted and yet also afraid. Afraid I could lose myself to him.Was I ready to give myself to another? Not that there was anyone in my life at the present. My love life was exactly like a Dillhoffia – extinct.Amid the confusion of a subway stop — three before mine — I bent lower and picked up Calla's magazine. Grasping the overhanging handhold, I cast my gaze across the surface of the emerald's photo."Beautiful necklace." The voice was sensual, deep and his.I fumbled the magazine, grabbed it and looked around. He was nowhere to be seen. But I had heard the voice. Hadn't I?
