It’s Six Sunday again. Thanks for spending part of your Sunday to check out my six, especially as you’re likely busy with all sorts of other things. This week, I’m sharing a six from my novel where Ryan and Cammy are at the beach. Ryan asks her what the history is between her and her dad, but she won’t answer. He mentions to her talking to asking her friend Raz about it. The six starts off with Ryan making reference to Raz’s comment, so you know who says what. I always value your feedback. So here we go:
“He said I had to get it from you. Somethin’ about the story comin’ from the author,” he added. “And just now, with that little girl on the guy’s shoulders, you looked so sad when you saw them.”
“No I didn’t, had somethin’ in my eye.”
“Cammy, c’mon, don’t play dumb with me. I saw the way you looked at them – I knew you were lyin’ when you said you were fine.”
Visit the Six Sunday link, for the complete list of many authors, like myself. Merry Christmas everybody!
Oh, I can feel the scene. I hope he doesn’t push her too far. Nice six! 🙂
Well since she prolongs telling him, he has to press her some more, but in the end she tells him the truth.
Aww, Ryan deserves an answer. Poor Cammy.
Merry Christmas to you and yours. I hope you have a grand time.
He does and he will get an answer. I’ll share it with in the next few Sundays. Merry Christmas to you too!
I love it when people pretend to ‘have something in their eye’ ! Sassy six!
Thanks, I thought it would be a perfect fit. Merry Christmas!
I love how you express their dialect through the dialogue. I hope Cammy opens up to Ryan, it looks like she really needs to. Good on Ryan for trying to help his friend.
It’s the way they talk…they have their own language. Cammy will eventually tell the truth – and it’s a sad story.
I like that he’s pressing her. Sounds like his backbone his solidifying. Nicely written six, Frank. 🙂
Thanks Siobhan, he really wants to know about her dad and her denial and emotional reactions make him want to know even more.
Sounds like her relationship was not good.
It’s more than ‘not good’. When she spills the truth, I think it could make the reader cry.
