Well, it's been a crazy three weeks. My mother's townhouse was hit by a tornado and is now condemned. I spent two days grabbing everything I could from her house that I could reach. Then I spent that last two and a half weeks going through all the wet, debris-coated things I grabbed to see what I could salvage. Everything has now been gone through, sorted, and what I was able to save is now re-packed and loaded onto a trailer, waiting to be moved to her new home.

She was in the hospital for about a week as she has some heart stress during the tornado. She's out and about to move into temporary living while she looks for a new place to call home.

Needless to say, my writing was put on hold while I managed through all this. I'm happy to say that the biggest part is done and I'm back to writing Candi's story in Kiss Away Your Pain.

Here's a little snippet for you...

The first song ends and “Hero” by Music Travel Love starts. I love their rendition of this song. As I watch couples on the dance floor, a dark-hair-dusted hand appears in front of my face. I look up into Enzo’s kryptonic eyes.

Putting my hand in his, the current that ran up my spine earlier floods my body.

One. Single. Touch.

Like he’s pulling me out of my seat with a magnet, I stand without saying a word. Holding my hand in his, he leads me to the dance floor. With gentle confidence, he wraps his arm around my waist and clasps his hand around mine. I draw a gulp of warm air into my lungs. I haven’t been this close to a man since — since Dom.

Being in the arms of another man feels different, almost wrong. And yet, when I look into his eyes, I’m eased. I feel safe.

“Aren’t you still on shift? Won’t you get in trouble?” I ask.

“Jake’s covering for me.” He pauses. “Besides, if I do, it’ll be worth it.” The sincerity of his statement coupled with intensity of his kryptonite-green gaze makes my heart beat a little faster.

I hope you liked it! :-)
