A sad moment for Darcy from Red Tulip on Friday Snippets #Fridaysnippets

From Red Tulip - contemporary romance with a little twist of mystery. Scene set- Darcy's faith in Shamus has been shattered. She saw him with another woman.

The taxi sped away from the curve, hurtling me away from…I clenched my fists. No, I wasn't going to think about Shamus. He made his decision and I was making mind. I picked up Tulip's carrier and rested it on my lap. She peered out the screened end. I wiggled my finger on it and she slapped at it with her dainty paws.Soft music floated from the taxi's radio, as Cher belted out, The Lady is a Tramp.I nodded in agreement. Oh, no, not that Cher's a tramp. I meant the one who snatched Shamus away from me. If ever in my life I harboured the desire to drop poison into someone's drink…I gave myself a shake.Good old Murphy's Law – if anything can go wrong, it will. When I arrived at the airport, my flight was delayed. Every other flight was on time. Mine was delayed. It's not like I could just hop on another flight. I was flying out of the biggest airport in the country to a little airport next to a corn field. The helpful ticket agent said they could ship Tulip on ahead, on a cargo flight. I was torn between wanting what was best and not wanting to release the most precious thing in my life.My cell rang. I apologized to the ticket agent and checked it. "Hi, Mom.""Hi, Sweetie. What a wonderful surprise having you come home. What time are you landing?""My plane has a small engine problem and is going to be delayed. But they are willing to ship Tulip. It's less stress on her. Can you pick her up? I really hate making you go to the airport twice."Mom and I settled the arrangements, while the ticket agent tried to reroute me, but conceded and said my best bet was to wait. He guessed about three hours. I kissed Tulip and asked her to be a good kitty then stood a breath away from being a babbling idiot as the ticket agent put the carrier on the moving belt. I swear my heart broke when I heard Tulip's little cry as the carrier disappeared into the back.
