I wrote my first scene for Chapter 9! It's a two-hander featuring Marcus and Mouse. It does some heavy lifting while also giving these two a proper scene with an honest conversation — something they (and I) desperately needed to happen. Today's word count is 1291. I feel like the roller coaster is picking up speed as we near the finish line for Part 2. Wheeeee!!!! XD
Today's sample:
Marcus opened his front door and stepped out onto the porch as Mouse pulled up the long dirt driveway. He was dressed in black skinny jeans and a fitted black T-shirt that drew proper attention to his sculpted arms. The air had warmed up considerably. It nearly felt like summer. A light breeze tickled the back of his neck below the end of his hairline. It teased his scalp as the close-cropped hair left little protection. He watched as she came up the walk stopping at the foot of the stairs. She was wearing a wrap dress, a style she favored. It was red with a floral print. Her hair was pinned back at the sides, as usual.

“We need to talk,” she said.
“Do we?”
“Don’t be an ass.”
“I’m not sure I know how else to be.”
“How are you with Tomas?” she countered.
