Welcome friends new and old. I submitted a WIP late last year (my first submission ever) and this week it got a full request. Squee!! Would you dance with me a little. Thanks. 😀
In the Blind (working title), and you can see the past posts from this WIP here. The Logline: When a head hunter finds her dream lover in a night of pitch black unrestrained passion, she fears she’ll never find him again. Fate steps in and throws the two together, but they might never discover the truth and stay in the blind.
Over the past few weeks I’ve shared Jane’s experience at Club Blind and her business opportunity that put her in touch with Rob. Last Week We met Rob and his best friend. Rob’s just a little excited to see Jane again. Now I give you 8 more from the end of their conversation.
“Thank you, you were right, and now I’ve got a hot date.”
“You’ve got a business meeting. Don’t mess it up.”
Rob hung up the phone and picked up his basketball, rolling the ball around in his hands, he paced the room. Concern took over his excitement. He would mess everything up if he didn’t tell Jane about Gina. There had to be a way to tell the woman you wanted about the woman you no longer loved. He’d hoped to have a first date with Jane before he had to bring up his ex-wife.
“Shit, I am going to mess this up.”
Somebody’s nervous. Next week I promise to give you a snippet from when Jane and Rob meet. Thank you so much for visiting me, it means a lot to me that you took the time to visit my little place on the web. Don’t forget to check out the other Weekend Warriors, and Saturday Spankings too. I hope to see you again next Sunday.

It could be worse. He could still be married.
ahh, I love his nervousness. It makes him human and very real. Terrific snippet!
Love how worried he is about her reaction!
Nice! Man what a problem to have. LOL NOTE- you have ‘bringing’ when it should read ‘bring’
My 8
Oh my, difficult situation ahead, hope he does handle it well! Excellent excerpt and what good news about the request for a full – best wishes!
I love the angst. Makes me wonder what’s so bad about his ex. Excellent.
Congratulations on your wonderful news. I”l dance with you but try not to step on your toes.
Loved this week’s snippet.
Don’t confuse business with pleasure. Congrats on the news. I really hope it pans out!
Poor guy, he really wants to do the right thing. I can’t wait to see how it goes when he tells her. Great job.. 🙂
Come on Rob you can do this! It’s great that you’ve made me care about him, great job.
How sad that he no longer loves someone that he thinks he used to love. And now he has to convince another woman that he wants her? He has a right to be nervous. Great layers of conflict.
Congrats on your news!
I love his nervousness – he so wants things to go right before he brings up what went wrong before. Nicely done, SJ. 🙂
Ya, he’ll mess it up. With two women involved, how can he possibly get it right? 🙂 Good scene.
This is unsettling!
Congrats on the request for the full – will keep everything crossed for you.
Now I’m wondering why Rob thinks he has to tell Jane about Gina.
Must be something important about the ex that he’s worried about telling Jane. But as this upcoming meeting is for business I think he needs to relax a bit and focus on the work aspect.
Oh, and congratulations on the request for the full! Great news!
Oh, he is so going to mess this up. LOL This should be good.
I like the premise and the last line of your snippet. I can’t wait to read more.
Congrats on the request for full! I love this snippet. You tell an intriguing tale in just a few lines.
Congratulations to you!
I wonder why Rob is so nervous about his ex wife and why he has to tell Jane about her. Interesting…..
Thank everyone!! Rob and Jane will be back next Sunday with another piece to this puzzle.
