Poor commitment-phobic MC. :evil

And for today:
Jessia patted a hand on the back of his head, at a loss for what to do.​

Two-ish lines, because stuff is finally happening.

Lucy kissed Caro’s cheek. “Now, let us go cause a sensation.”

My modern MC is being cat-called on the street. This is her reaction:
The chorus of "bitch this" and "bitch that" continued, along with discussion of my booty and maybe my legs and breasts. Because, obviously, these dudes are more comfortable with fried chicken than any woman.

Serena was confused. “So customers can feel the material and take the clothes to the fitting room to try them on. Why? How is it done on your world?”

Cheering you all on!
This is the line I plan to end on for the day.

I raise the gun, hit the button on the scope so that a red light appears on his arm, and fire before Suit 50 can finish her next word.

"Am I out?" I ask, and I'm surprised by the hurt in my voice. That is a weakness I can't bear to show them.

In a different timezone. Come visit!
Ok, so I had to put in the last few lines because they just have to go together. I did it off-hand, probably has some mistakes.


‘To be or not to be, that is the question
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing, end them.’

I'm a Shakespeare nerd. When I started my novel I knew this would have to come in somewhere :)

"Sure, I'd love to watch."
