For my Sunday
Snippet post this week—I decided I can't really call them Six Sentence Sunday
posts because I can't seem to follow the rules and limit things—I thought I'd
post one of my favorite sibling conversations from Forever Young.
Gabe and Zak
McTavish fight fires and save lives and try to stay out of each other's way
when it comes to dating. This one isn't very far along, but the entire story is
locked up in my brain, I swear. Seriously…when is someone going to invent the
thing that jacks directly into our heads and downloads all the lovely stories
we authors have to tell? LOL
Let's start with a
tag line:
Gabe McTavish meets
the woman of his dreams. Too bad she's his brother's date.
(Remember, I did
say try to stay out of each other's way. LOL)
And here's the
snippety peek:
"Bro, I'm in love."
Gabe
McTavish rolled his eyes and settled back on the sofa, wishing he'd jumped in
the shower right when he got home. His brother, Zak, made that announcement at
least twice a month. Gabe wondered who the lucky woman would turn out to be
this time.
"And
does the mother of my future niece or nephew have a name?" He didn't have
to ask what the new woman looked like. Zak's type never changed. Blonde hair,
blue eyes, and big tits. Always.
"Her name is Tara Lowes and
she's the newest paramedic at five house." His brother paused and Gabe
braced himself. "You gotta come out
with me tonight and meet her."
Gabe
sighed. He'd rather spork his eyeballs out than watch Zak try to woo his latest
and greatest.
His
brother knew him too well. "Come on,
Gabe. It's been months since we've gone out together."
Gabe
clarified. "It's been three weeks and I had to pour you into a cab the
last time." Love of Zak's life number 97 had dumped him the previous night.
"Call Laz and ask him to babysit."
Muffled
sounds of Zak's hand over the phone met Gabe's ears. "Sorry, bro. Laz is
booked up tonight. He's got that sweet new ER nurse primed and ready. Gonna
slip her the Laz Special before the night is over."
Yes…I'm really
going to leave it there. Suffice it to say, Laz is an interesting character. :D
This kind of story is near and dear to me. Half my family is in the fire and emergency medical services.
:D They're all pretty awesome people.
Happy Reading!
