Welcome Sixers and friends. My love and best thoughts to those who suffered in the aftermath of the storm. After an horrendous scary week, I’m bringing to a close my snippets of Starting Over. Next week brings a new story. Emily begins to rebuild her life after her tragic loss. Emily’s close friend Mark, a widower, returns from a trip to find that Emily defended herself against the man who killed Patrick.
excerpt:
“Hold me tight, please, I feel as if I’m coming apart at the seams,” Mark said. “As I drove here from the airport, all I thought about was you, how much I care for you, how this time there was a chance for us to have a life together, to grow old together. From a distance I saw flashing lights, knew something terrible —” hoarse sobs, “when I saw you standing, soaked but standing on the beach I almost lost it. Relief sure, but that thing at your feet, he attempted to kill — my precious Emily.” He cradled her face in his hands.
Emily turned off the lights, slammed the door and grabbed Mark’s hand, a welcoming smile on her face, “Now what were you saying about a place for me to stay?”

Sweet that he is there for her. 🙂
There’s so much more to their background together but in ‘six’ we must leave out a lot. Thanks for your support, Jessica.
Aww. Love a man who’s willing to share his emotions.
All’s well that ends well as someone wonderful once said. Thanks, Dee.
So glad she has somebody to turn to at this time. It’s awful what she went through, and he sounds like he’ll really help.
The story had a lot of twists and turns. But the good folks won in the end. Thanks, V
This is so wonderful! I love heroes who aren’t afraid to share their hearts.
Elaine, we are one in our writing. Thanks.
Awww, she can’t doubt his feelings for her.
What a lovely closing six! I’ve enjoyed this story, Charmaine!
So pleased you liked it, Sarah.
