I’m
continuing my participation in the Goodreads blog hopping experience. With that in mind, this is a continuation of
my book, "Girlfriends." This excerpt comes
from Chapter 7. See excerpts from other authors at

Constance
was the new civil litigator at Burns and Burns, specializing in personal injury
and medical malpractice. She was 32 and
a slender 5’8” with silky black hair and alabaster skin. Her cavernous black eyes and innocent face
belied the pit bull that she was.
Everything about her was appealing.
From her long, soft eyelashes that swept her skin below the bottom lid
to her slender fingers that sported a delicate gold ring on her pinky, Bill was
smitten the first time he met her. He
invited her to lunch and offered himself as her personal go-to-person. She found occasions to “go-to” him often.
Bill
was flattered. He began to work out even
more vigorously and when they went out together, people would smile and look on
with envy. He liked the idea of having
this young thing on his arm and was possessive of her attentions. She liked the idea of having a relationship
with a partner in the firm.
They
spent romantic evenings at fashionable restaurants, not caring who saw them
together, or drinking fine wine by the fire at Bill’s. His “latter life” crisis was unlike the Bill
everyone knew.
Uh-oh. I sense trouble. There's no fool like an old fool.
ReplyDeleteThese sound like interesting characters. I'm curious about how their relationship is going to work out.
ReplyDeleteWell that's certainly a situation we've all seen play out! I wonder how yours will end... We will stay tuned until next week, looking forward to more!
ReplyDeleteDon't these young, beautiful, brilliant women know what they do to old farts? Bill's a fool, and she's a fooler. Good snippet. Well done!
ReplyDeleteGood characterization. We've seen these two before, bur it's always interesting to see how the story plays out. Nice excerpt!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading it and checking out how it all plays out!
ReplyDeleteLove those pit bull women litigators! Looks like Constance is catching more than bad guys...
