My snippet picks up where we last left off...Seamus proclaiming that Ravyn has made him the happiest man in the world.
Ravyn
blushed, feeling guilty at the little charade she’d been playing. Seamus really was a sweet guy, and it
bothered her that she’d be breaking his heart soon. She hoped.
They
all sat down to the table and loaded their plates with the savory fish, some
fresh greens from the garden and little biscuits.
“Da,
this is a celebratory dinner, shall we bring out the wine?”
Murphy
beamed at his son, “Yes lad, I believe you’re right. Break out the wine and goblets, and let the
celebrating begin.”
Ack. The dreaded dumping the nice guy.....makes you feel for both of them
ReplyDeleteShe's engaged, and this nice guy has been using his Selkie love charms on her, in her defense : )
DeleteArgh, how can she do it? Lovely scene, well written and described.
ReplyDeleteYou will better understand in future snippets.
DeleteI'd like to join the celebration.

These two guys haven't seen women in a long time...they are so dang over the top excited right now.
DeleteOh no, plans to dump him?? Ravyn's not a mean person so I'm super curious why she's planning that. Or is she falling for him anyway? Can't wait to find out!
ReplyDeleteRaven isn't mean, that's true. But she is already engaged to the love of her life who's back home.
DeletePoor Seamus!:(
ReplyDeleteThere may be rainbows and sunshine in the future...sometime...a little later maybe...
DeleteIts always hard when their nice. Great snippet. Can't wait for next week.
ReplyDeleteThanks for swinging by.
DeleteAh, I knew it was all too good to be true! And I have to say I'm a little relieved to discover Ravyn's secret - so deliciously complicated of her.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, things aren't always what they seem : )
DeletePoor Seamus, he really doesn't know what's coming. Ravyn is awesome, I love her character and she totally intrigues me. Great eight!
ReplyDeleteYup, poor Seamus. We'll just have to wait and see how he handles things...
Deleteawwww the nice guys always get a raw deal :(
ReplyDeleteSeems raw, but who knows maybe something fantastic waits around the corner...
DeleteDrink the wine. They'll be fine. Or will they? Millie, you'd never let them suffer-not too much.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I do enjoy a bit of suffering on occasion...
DeleteI'm wondering if he'll react the way she expects . . . I know what a tricky one you are, Millie. :)
ReplyDeleteWe shall see : )
DeletePoor Seamus. Will he take the news hard. Will he still try to win her heart? I'm intrigued.
ReplyDeleteWe shall see, all in good time.
DeleteGotta watch those selkies.
ReplyDeleteThey are charming folks : )
DeletePoor Ravyn, poor Seamus. Or maybe not, as others have said! You always have good twists and turns to your plots, nothing is too easy. The meal sounded good to me, especially with wine! So, excellent excerpt again...
ReplyDeleteThank you : ). Can't have a path too straight and narrow, makes for a boring path : )
DeleteAwww....these guys are ready to marry the ladies it sounds like. :( Puts you in the place where you want to know what happens but at the same time you rather not know because it might be bad.
ReplyDeleteToo early in the story for the happy ending : )
DeleteWoot! Wine and celebrations! The booze will soften the blow, so no worries about them tricksy womenfolk.
ReplyDeleteYup these two are being a bit sly : )
ReplyDeleteOups, I'm sure she'll break a lot more than his heart.
ReplyDeleteWhy does she hope she'll break his heart? I like that she's feeling a little guilty. Great 8.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I like that she has a secret--that she's about to spoil the moment. I'm looking forward to the next installment :)
ReplyDeleteKeep smiling,
Yawatta
