MIDWEEK TEASE~23~I'M STILL IN A COLD, STEEL BOX AT THE MORGUE...
Traveling home from a wonderful vacation! Tomorrow it is back to the old grind. LOL. But for now, we will carry on with this week's MidWeek Tease brought to us every week by the lovely Angelica Dawson ;) This week's teaser comes from my latest release, Chicks Dig Scars in the Prowlers & Growlers Paranormal Boxed Set which released last week. I just adore these characters!
Rachel scoured her tub with renewed vigor, ignoring the now familiar burst of light brightening the room. “No,” she said.
“But I haven’t asked you anything yet,” Seamus complained.
She glanced up, pausing mid scrub. “Your son is a first class jerk,” she said refraining from using the word asshole, just barely. Chick? He’d described her as some chick who was there to clean Seamus’ house? She restarted scrubbing the spotless porcelain once more. “I won’t be seeing him again.”
“But you promised to help him,” Seamus said. “He can’t even make my funeral arrangements. I’m still in a cold, steel box at the morgue.”
Rachel gave up on her task, her arm aching from the effort. The vision he’d put in her head squeezed her heart. It had been over a week since she’d seen Devon Jameson. She’d desperately been stalking the obituaries looking for any news of when Seamus’ memorial service would be. Now she knew why she hadn’t seen any notification.
“Where?” she asked with resignation. “Where’s the ass—umm, your son now?”
Seamus beamed, shimmering with renewed brilliance. “That’s a good lass. You’re the daughter I never had. I only want what’s best for you,” he said, his Irish lilt full of love. He lifted his hand and cupped her cheek.
Rachel couldn’t feel skin. She couldn’t feel anything at all in the normal sense. Instead, a warmth infused her, taking away her sadness. She closed her eyes, soaking in the peace he granted her. “I miss you so much, Seamus. How am I supposed to go on without you?”******
That's all I have for this week! Don't forget to hop on over to the other teases and see what's on the agenda for this week! Enjoy the rest of your Hump Day!
