Hello friends. Life has been slamming me pretty hard this last week, so I'm going to keep my ramblings to a minimum and let you get straight to the excerpt after a shout-out to the awesome writers who participate in Weekend Writing Warriors.  Click on the link in the text, or on the image above to find your new favorite authors!

The vote was nearly unanimous to continue from last week's eight, so here we go. Does Princess Therese love Christian?


          The dowager duchess was certain she already knew the answer—who could help loving Christian—but she was not the one who needed to consider that fact.
          “She does.” He said quietly.  “She loves me.”
          “Then she will need you.”  His mother put a gentle hand on her son’s arm.  “She will need your strength.  Go to her--give her a reason to fight, to live.”


So that's the answer to the question.  Would you like to see what happens in the next scene, or shall we go back to random?  See you all around the hop, and next weekend as well.

Kate

Mother knows best! :)

I'm glad he's certain---I think certainty must be in short supply around there . . .

Even though I'd love to know what's happens next - random is also fun. I vote for random.
Touching snippet today - guess I should have started with that.

Hm, he better get himself into gear and go help. What is holding him back? If he loves her and she loves him shouldn't he want to help?
Another intriguing snippet!;)

Well the facts that he's basically promised elsewhere, and that she's a princess and thus above his station are definitely playing into it.

Thanks Tina!

Nice! These characters feel 3-D, like we might read about them online today. I'm easy, I'll take which ever excerpt you want to put up, lol!

Awe, I like this snippet. The Duchess gives in. ;-)

My vote is to continue!

Sorry life has been rough, Kate. I hope it levels out soon. :-)

Thanks Teresa. Does life ever level out, I wonder? Spring should help. :)

It doesn't sound like it will be an easy fight, but that's no reason to give up yet. He better listen to his mom!

Yes, all sons should listen to their mothers! Thank you, Catilin.

Thank you, Veronica. There are only four sentences left in this scene, so I'd be starting with the next scene if we continue.

Thanks Karen. Spring is here-ish, so the sunshine and warmer weather should help. :)

Just coming into this conflict and it is good to see his sense of her feelings are very strong. I assume his are likewise. Can't wait to see what happens next, so yes, please continue!

Thank you, Jenna. Last week Christian confessed that he's in love with Therese, and his mother proved herself (once again) sensible and awesome.

I think she does love him! Kate, keep your head up, life can be pretty difficult, but we get through it right? I've had plenty of those moments, I prayed my but off and God gave me the strength to get through it. Hope this week is going better for you. Sending you some love!!!

Thanks, Neva! Faith has always been a big part of my life. It's definitely divine intervention that has kept me going this long. Everyone I know is surprised I didn't get hit with burnout years ago. Thanks for sharing, and for the love. :)
