Whew. How great did
Arrow's episode seventeen turn out? Birds of Prey surpassed my expectations
and blew my mind. Always love it when shows do that to me. J
Walking Dead also delivered a solid episode. I'm so ready
for the finale tonight and crossing my fingers the group will all be together
by the end of the episode… even though Terminus can't be a the refuge it's
touted as being. Too easy, right? LOL
Bitten has one more episode and I'm dying to know if the show will be renewed.
Still reading the books and there's a lot the producers can mine from the
various storylines. I'll cross my fingers and hope for a green light on season
two in the near future.
Tonight's post is
from Hang Ten, a short story/novella about a couple who competes against
each other but have a relationship. How they keep things interesting is at the
heart of the story.
Here's the tagline:
Farren and Penn—professional surfers—have very different
styles when competing. Farren goes for broke, taking chances with moves that
others won't try. Penn is all about the physics of his craft, sometimes holding
back because he can't predict everything. Two different methods, opposite ends
of the spectrum, but an interesting mix when they're off their boards and out
of the water.
And a snippety peek…
Farren dropped down
beside Avery and kicked her feet out, letting the fire warm her toes.
"Nice job today, Ave." The rookie surfer pulled a second place win.
Avery grinned.
"Thanks, Farren. I caught a wicked awesome wave." She leaned closer
to Farren. "Did you see Penn's ride?"
Farren cracked a
smile. "Nope. I missed it. Heard it was spectacular, though." She
settled her beer on the side of the chair. "He worked hard for his
win." Her gaze found Penn's across the flickering flames.
Penn nodded, but
continued his conversation. Farren smirked and grabbed her drink, bringing the
bottle to her lips. She'd never grow tired of needling Penn about his obsession
with using physics for surfing. Then again, she also appreciated his uncanny
ability to calculate on the fly while riding a wave… even if she'd never admit
the notion aloud. She took a long swallow of her one and only beer for the
evening.
Avery nudged Farren's
arm. "Do you know if he's hooked up with anyone?" Her gaze lingered
on Penn.
Farren choked down
the liquid. "Er… well… you can certainly ask around." She swallowed
again, clearing her throat. "Or better yet, ask the man himself."
Wouldn't Penn love having the rookie hot for him?
Okay, no. But Farren
would have a roaring good time watching him squirm out of her clutches.
Besides, Avery had a sweet disposition and loads of talent. Penn might just go
for her.
Of course, Farren
would do bodily harm to each if he did.
The keep things
interesting part is not letting the others surfers in on their relationship.
LOL
That's it for this
week. Happy reading!
