 This week my snippet is from A Barlow Lens, book 2 of the Circles series. A Barlow Lens is two, intertwining stories in one book. There is a story told in the present and a second story set in 1927. My snippet is from one of the 1927 chapters.  The first time was always fast, hard, and desperate. Particularly after waiting so many days. Later would come the slow passion when they took a back room inside the Canary. After night descended, Tom pointed out constellations and showed Philip his favorite views through his telescope. “Emma’s ma said she expects me for dinner again next week,” Philip said. He wouldn’t quite meet Tom’s gaze. “I’ll probably hafta marry her eventually.” Tom nodded. He didn’t like it, but there was nothing he, or Philip, could do about it. “I know. We’ll make do. Just like now.” “I wish—Tom, I don’t—you didn’t grow up in that neighborhood. Certain people, they expect….” He hung his head. “I’m sorry.” “I grew up in a neighborhood. Same thing all over. Nothing we can do about it. Like I said, we’ll make do.” Read more fabulous snippets in The Rainbow Snippets Facebook group! A Barlow Lens is available from Amazon in eBook and paperback and is available in Kindle Unlimited. 3/20/2021 08:57:58 pm
So sad. I hope the two of them just skip out and run off somewhere to be together. Comments are closed.
