Reasons

9/15/2012

  Here it is being Sunday again, and I remembered to sign up for Six Sentence Sunday so I am posting six sentences.  Thank you so much to those who read and comment.

Using my random scrolling method I have come to the part where Ellen finally asks Henry to stay the night.  However, before he accepts the invitation, he wants to know what made her offer it; to know that it's what she really wants and not just an impulse brought on by a tragic event earlier in the day.  Ellen speaks first.



          "...You’re important to me and I want to be with you.  I don’t want to spend another night wondering if you’re missing me the way I’m missing you.  It’s not about sympathy or comfort.  It’s about you and me.  I want us to be an “us” and I want to make love to you…tonight.”  She stared at him expectantly.
          “Well you don’t have to ask me twice.”


That's my six for the week.  I look forward to reading yours. :)

Kate

Lovely six! I love her explanation -- but I love Henry's response even more. :)

I should say not! LOL. That's a hard proposal to refuse, for sure. ;c)

I would hope the question doesn't have to be asked twice. I must say, you're random scrolling method has certainly led you to post some lovely snippets.

Love his response, it made me giggle. This is a great line: I don’t want to spend another night wondering if you’re missing me the way I’m missing you.

Ya just gotta love Henry. Kate, you did such a wonderful job of writing a rather atypical hero for your heroine. :-)

Excellent book! :-)

Some conversations DO have to be held, glad they cleared the air. I loved the dialog - great six!

I love it when characters (and people) cut through the clutter and just say what they mean. Refreshing!

The man had the right answer, thank heavens! I loved the underlying emotion in this and sense it's going to be a very lovely joining together.

Somehow I thought he wouldn't turn her down.

I love Henry's response. It's such a male contrast to Ellen's emotional explanation.

Oh. Laugh. That last line really brought the snippet to full height. Great job! It made me smile.
