Welcome friends old and new. I’m glad you came. This week I’m sharing 8 more from my WIP, In the Blind. I hope you enjoy.
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 many weeks I’ve shared Jane’s experience at Club Blind and her business opportunity that put her back in touch with Rob after they met last month. Rob isn’t keen on Jane’s job opportunity. It’s for the company his ex-wife works for. Last Post Rob explained why he kept his ring on after the divorce. He wasn’t missing his wife. He needed to forgive himself for his part in the failed promise. This week, I’ve skipped a few paragraphs. Rob finally told Jane about Gina working at Keller’s AND he’s asked her out. Go Rob. The first line is his.
“So, you’re okay with this?”
“It’s a lot to take in, but I still think you’re the best candidate for Keller. If you’re sure, then I am too. Besides, my business could really use the connection.”
“Alright, it’s settled. Let’s go charm Keller, and then I’ll take you out.”
“No more surprises, right?” she said with her eye brows raised.
“I’ve got none left in my pocket, should I take a peek in yours?”
Oh! Wish I could share Jane’s response. No more surprises, right? <If you want, you can Tweet That> Jane needs to direct that question at herself. But I’ll save that for later.
Hope you enjoyed my eight today. 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 think a lot more surprises will be coming out soon.
I bet there are many more surprises! Characters are so innocent and clueless. Lol.
I like his confidence. “Let’s go charm Keller. Then I’ll take you out.” Love it!
Love that last line:)
More surprises coming I betcha.
Yeah, I can’t imagine the surprises have ended. I’m pretty sure this isn’t going to go quite the way either intended! Great dialogue!
I’m sure there will be lots more surprises for them before long!
Nice banter and I’m sure there’s more surprises ahead. Can’t wait to find out. 🙂
I LOVE the last line (it really should be two sentences to give it more punch, but I like his teasing). Great snippet, SJ. 🙂
Thanks and I think I agree, Siobhan. I must have changed that from one to two sentences a dozen times yesterday, lol.
hahaha. Love that last line. Something tells me there are a LOT more surprises to come. 😉
I like that they’re comfortable and using humor in the situation. I hope they’re prepared when surprises come…which I’m sure will happen. Great snippet as always, SJ!
Great 8!! I tweeted.
Great #8Sentence …. and hopefully we’ll get to see her response next week. Well done!
A nice exchange there.
Cute last line. I hope the ex isn’t going to be a problem.
I’m somehow not reassured that there aren’t more surprised to come LOL, on both sides! Really enjoying this story, glad you’ve given us more of it – terrific snippet!
She’s a fool if she says no! LOL Great 8!
I foresee plenty more surprises to come. Love the last line. However, there is one thing that I’m confused about. I thought that SHE was the one with the job opportunity? So why was she saying that she still thought that HE was the best candidate? Maybe it’s explained better in the parts you’ve skipped, but I’ve lost track of who is applying for what, here…
Hi, Isabella and thanks. Jane’s the head hunter. She’s the one that brought the job opportunity to Rob. I think I explained that in one of the first snippets, but that was sometime ago.
Finally! And nah, there are no more surprises. Hehehe.
Excellent last line. Can’t wait to see what happens with these two.
History Sleuth’s Milk Carton Murders
Loved the snippet and like everyone else, the last line! Looking forward to see where these two are going!
Last line is brilliant! Terrific snippet. You’ve got great chemistry between these two.
Yeah, lol, let’s check that pocket! I bet it’s not empty. Wonderful, 8, S.J. 🙂
