Saturday Snippet

It took me a bit to decide on what to use as this week's snippet. I was going to cut this section smaller, but the whole exchange was so cute I had to keep it all together. this means you get a slightly larger snippet this week. Hope you don't mind. Anyway, without further ado....

“So, how old will this birthday make you?” He leaned in a bit closer to ask.

“18”

“Practically an old maid. Should we be dancing? I mean, I don’t want you to break a hip or anything.” He chuckled. The light sound brought a smile to her face.

“I think I can survive one dance. However, I may need my walker to get back to my table when were done.” This was nice. The light banter back and forth was making her feel more comfortable with him and her mind seemed to finally thaw from its previously frozen state. Probably due to the heat she was soaking up from his touch.

“Don’t worry, I’ll carry you if you get too bad.” He smiled down at her again. Oh Gods, that smile actually weakened her knees.

“So, when did your ‘official’ birthday occur? 10am this morning? Or more like 2pm? I mean the amount of time you have aged is very important to your physical health. If you’ve only been 18 for a few hours than you might be ok to walk without assistance. But if you’ve been aging since early this morning, well then, we might need an ambulance and an oxygen tank to assist you soon.”

Mack burst out laughing. He was a funny God. Now she knew this must all be a dream. No one, especially her, could get this lucky in one lifetime.

“I’ll have you know that ‘officially’ I haven’t actually turned 18 yet.” She threw back at him.

Kai faltered in his steps, made an overly dramatic horror filled face.

“Good Gods! I’m dancing with jailbait! I could get arrested in these parts you know?” 

Happy Reading!
