Since I was tagged three times, I'll give you a bit for The Phoenix Prophetess and some from Starred. This is from The Phoenix Prophetess, which is still in edits. It's a shame that beautiful bouquet never gets to her aunt's.
“How much for the bouquet?”
The elderly man gave her a gap-toothed grin. “For such a lovely lady, they’re free.”
“Oh no, I insist upon paying.” Heat flushed her cheeks.
Here is the bit from Starred.
My arms lowered, and I tapped the side of his truck in a syncopated rhythm. “You can ask, doesn’t mean I’ll answer.”
“Is the only reason you didn’t audition because of . . . you know?” He didn’t want to say my face, and I didn’t blame him. Sometimes around him, I wondered if he even realized the deformity was evident. He didn’t bring it up like the others, and I was glad he didn’t. It was so much easier to talk to him when we kept up the pretense. But my face stopped me from doing a lot of things. In fact, if I hadn’t been damaged in the car accident, I’d still be in LA instead of New Haven.
I know this meme has been going around, so instead of tagging 7 people directly, if you haven't been tagged and would like to see what your 7 lines are, then tag! You're it.
