I’m in the mood for a little more Liam and Lila this week. This scene comes during a tense, dangerous moment when the two encounter the Glass Man and Liam tries out a new trick on Lila so they can talk without being overheard.
As if a door had opened between us, Liam’s spirit slipped inside me, filled me like whiskey to the brim of my crystal glass. My knees buckled, and I flailed my arms but found nothing to steady myself with. Something unfamiliar gurgled in my throat before a drunken giggle burst from my lips. I clapped a hand over it.
“Jesus,” Liam’s voice whispered through my mind. “Yes, it feels good, but could you be a little more subtle about it?”
I hope you enjoyed. Don’t forget to click the logo to see the rest of the participants.
They certainly livened up a tense moment. Great six!
Love the show of unabandoned joy. Fantastic six and I love the cover of The Glass Man – gorgeous!
This six made me laugh when I first read it in the book and it still makes me chuckle now, hehehe! Nice! 😀
heheheheheeee Hasn’t he already learned there is no subtlety to Lila? She is what she is. 🙂
I don’t think being subtle is warranted when this is going on
Love this scene in the book 🙂 Great six, Jo 🙂
I love the originality of your description–it’s so difficult to find new, fresher ways to describe things that have been described to death, and you did it in a way that spoke to me, forced new connections in my head, made the moment come alive for me. Thank you for sharing this!
Hehe Can’t wait to read The Glass Man! On my to-read list 🙂 🙂 Great six! Love the new look of the site too!
I remember this scene because I really liked it. Very cute! Wish I knew how it felt.
Absolutely fantastic six!
Thanks to everyone who stopped by. I’ll be making my way around to the rest of the sixers when I’m not quite so under the weather. 🙂
I smiled through this whole snippet. Well done!
Apologies for my late arrival but I spent the day in bed yesterday. I loved this scene in the book, and it left me smiling again reading it now. 🙂
This is a very intriguing snippet!
