My first Six Sentence Sunday post comes from my novel Scarlet
Reign. The main character Daniel has traveled back to his home town to settle
his father’s affairs after his untimely death. Here, as he’s just arriving in
town, he runs into an ex-flame while having lunch at the local diner.
~ “I’ve missed you Kate,” I say. There’s no need to turn
around. The fragrance had anchored itself to her, branding my consciousness
with her face and with it, images of walks along the View, laughing until our
mouths hurt, and making snow angels and hot chocolate. There were even images
of kissing in the moonlight, though our relationship fell short of that. I had
even immortalized her in my Kate Darkstar mystery’s.
“You
remember my name, I’m impressed college boy.” ~
I hope you enjoyed this. Next week I’ll post the next Six in
the story and I’ll continue this way as linearly as possible.

favorite authors here: Krystal Wade, Kelly Seguin, L.J. Kentowski and Jess Schira. Find links to all Six Sentence Sunday participants at the official web site.

I like the fragrance sparking memories that never actually happened. That's a nice touch. Good six :)
Loved this! Brings great mental images to the reader of what he is associating with Kate. Great 6! Can't wait for more!
Thank you girls. I'm walking on glass with everything I post, it's so amazing to know it's well received. It's so much like sending your infant children out to play.
Wendy: I had my doubts about that but I know the mind is so powerful it can fill in details simply from desires of the hear. That's what I was going for. And the fragrance he smells is her perfume, it always gives her away. ;) There is no way she can sneak up on him.
Oh I'm very intrigued now. Loved the mental picture of Kate he gave us. I'm definitely coming back for more! Great Six!
Oh this sounds good!! I was transported by that flash of memory!
