Six Sentence Sunday

Six Sentence Sunday

Things have been crazy lately and I haven’t had as much time to work on the sequel as I would like. Hopefully I can get back on track and make these installments on a regular basis.  Just to clarify some points, the story is narrated by Jamie Richmond, the female protagonist from my first novel “Balancing Act” that’s available both at www.amazon.com  and at www.internationalagora.com. (Shameless plug, ain’t it?) 

Anyway, this particular scene comes from a New Year’s Eve party where Jamie has played matchmaker. On short notice, she has successfully paired her best friend Linda, with Vince, her doctor. The six sentences below describe what Jamie sees at the stroke of midnight.

I had expected a gallant kiss on the cheek, or perhaps a brief embrace. Instead I saw Linda with her arms draped around Vince’s neck. His hands were on her tiny waist, holding her steady as the crowd on the dance floor around us swayed with the orchestra. They were kissing. But this wasn’t one of those Hollywood air kisses, or the drab kiss of an old couple that has as much heat as a snowball in a February blizzard. This was a ‘make the girl swoon with visions of ecstasy’ kiss.
