Weekend Writing Warriors #149!

Hi, gang! Hope you're enjoying a fabulous weekend! If not, perhaps a snippet from Adventures in Online Dating will turn things around! 

Here's the blurb: After too many failed relationships, too many shots of tequila, and too many not-so-gentle nudges from her best friend, Sydney Montrose joins an online dating site in hopes of finding THE ONE. During her adventures, she crosses paths with a professional gamer who lives with his parents, a sweet and sarcastic parking enforcement officer, a flirty barista, a mystery man, a touchy-feely former felon, and a clown. Which one will she choose? Well, that's all entirely up to you! :-D

And here's an excerpt, continuing from where we left off:

She sauntered toward him and grabbed the ticket from his hand before he could even think of filling it in. Retrieving the newly-claimed fountain pen from her purse, she scribbled a note on the front of the ticket then slipped it under the wiper blade of the vehicle in question.
            “What did you do?” he asked as he reached for the ticket.
            She read it aloud to save him the trouble. “‘Merry Christmas, this one’s on me. Love, Officer Easy.’”
            Her snicker became a full-fledged giggle when he returned the ticket to the windshield and took her by the hand. “I’m a nice guy.”
            “But not easy?”
            “Maybe a little,” he conceded with a smile. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to visit the other Weekend Writing Warriors!

This is my last week of teaching before I'm off on Christmas holidays! Can't wait to be home with my family. Wishing everyone a wonderful week ahead! :)

  9. So she's really keeping his pen? I hope he wasn't too attached to it.
    I love that he's letting her note stand, though I worry it might get him in trouble.
