From newly released contemporary romance Red Tulip a Friday Snippet #Fridaysnippets

From Red Tulip - contemporary romance with a little bit of a mystery twist - Scene set - Darcy has been dealing with tulips that mysteriously appear and then disappear - when she confront Shamus about it - he replies...


Shamus shrugged. "What tulips?""The one you left in the gardener's shed, and then somehow in my apartment."His pupils dilated. "I have never been to your apartment."I rubbed my forehead as I explained about the two tulips. "If you take me home, I can show them to you.""Well, I had different plans for this evening, but this has me intrigued. How about another stroll through the conservatory, then I'll take you home.""I'd love to."Linked arm in arm, we wandered around the flower nirvana that was the MacTavis Conservatory. I talked non-stop about the flowers and Shamus patiently listened with a grin pasted on his mouth."Now that I have told you everything you already knew about your flowers, take me home and I'll show you mine."He raised an eyebrow.I playfully slapped his shoulder. "You know what I mean."
Twenty minutes later, I was pulling the key from my purse and opening my apartment door. I paused. A moment of fear shot through me. What if there were three tulips?Shamus followed me inside and across the room to where the vase rested on the table.My heart jumped. The vase was empty. "But…there were two. First there was one, then another appeared, and now…now they've disappeared."I glanced at Shamus. What was I reading on his face – disbelief? No, curiosity. I followed his gaze to the table. Next to the vase lay a piece of paper with a single sentence on it.
