Weekend Writing Warriors #144!

Hiya, folks! Hope you're all doing well! Let's jump back into Adventures in Online Dating! 

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: 


“Well, considering I tore up your ticket and let you have my pen, I think you at least owe me your name.”
            She lifted her gaze to a more appropriate level and stretched out her hand. “Sydney.” His warm palm met hers and held it securely for long seconds. Their gazes held for just as long.
             “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Sydney.”
            Goosebumps. The feel of his hand and the sound of his voice and the fact that he wouldn’t stop staring at her...Like her body had a choice in the matter--of course it reacted. When he let her go, she swayed slightly and reached for his sleeve to steady herself.

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

Well, you guys, I just celebrated two months with my fella on Friday night! All week long I've been having my own cold war, but the cold finally won and sealed the victory with a cough. But all those germies couldn't keep my guy away. He stopped by last night and brought me homemade stew, tiramisu, and popsicles. He's a keeper for sure, eh? Wishing you all a great, germ-free week ahead! :)
