With my novel LAST DANCE WITH ANNIE coming out soon (sorry no date) and my total lack of inspiration this morning, I’m posting an edited snippet. Irma is based on an actual person whose name I don’t recall so her identity is safe with me. 😉
Genre: Realistic Fiction
Word Count: 100
NEW BEGINNINGS
Elise lay on her bed, exhausted from her first twenty-four hours on EDU.
Trying to shrug off the shame of letting down one of her closest friends, she drank in the delicious scent of the blooms on the nightstand. “Nothing says spring like daffodils.”
It was sweet of her coworkers to send them up. She reread the card that said, “Fight the good fight. We love you.”
“Make sure you never set them where Irma can see ‘em,” said Elise’s roommate. “She goes bonkers around flowers.”
“Why?”
“I’ll let her tell it. We’re supposed to concentrate on our own stories.”
*Note EDU stands for “Eating Disorder Unit.”
A nod to my friend and fellow author Kathleen M. Rodgers who shares my love of daffodils and understands Elise better than most.
