One more week until
Bitten returns with season two. I
can't wait!! Banshee is amping up the
tension and I'm looking forward to the next episode. Makes me miss Strike Back
and look forward to whenever it comes back to my television screen.
My usual fare, The Flash, Arrow, Gotham, and Sleepy Hollow had good showings. I'm
enjoying the story arc on Arrow even
if my twitter feed seems to hold a different opinion. I love the flashbacks and
how they reveal information about Oliver's time off the island.
Also need to take a
moment to mention Lost Girl. It's the
final season and I'm so going to miss the show when it's gone. Thankfully, I'll
have Orphan Black to look forward to
soon and will get to see Ksenia Solo in a new role. J
Tonight's post is
from Veritas, a novella where a friendly fire incident brings a couple home to
their truth.
Here's the tagline:
Tillie Cruz has a moment of veritas when she shoots Faxon
Jarvis in a friendly fire incident. The realization she wants a life with him
may be too late because Faxon has a new relationship and Tillie doesn't want to
mess it up. But she may not have to—her bullet may have done the trick.
A snippety peek…
Tillie spun around and faced
Faxon. "You know what? We're done here." She gathered up her gear.
"Don't bother stopping by after your shift is over, because you're no
longer welcome."
Faxon crossed his arms over his
chest. "Cut and run? Why doesn’t that surprise me?"
Tillie fought the urge to punch
him. "Because you know how goddamned annoying you are?" Biting words
worked just as good as physical violence.
Faxon's nostrils flared, but he
didn't speak.
Tillie smirked. "Exactly. You
don't have the right to get in my way. I know what I'm doing out there."
She flung her jacket over her shoulder. "If you'll remember, I graduated
from the academy." She angled her around. "At a higher standing than
you, I might add."
Faxon's mouth thinned to a slash
across his face. "Yeah, you did. But you're too cocky out there,
Tills." He turned and opened his locker. "And someday that's going to
bite you on the ass." His gaze met hers. "Hard."
She snorted and headed for the
exit. "Whatever. I get the job done." She strolled out the door and
left Faxon behind, putting him firmly out of her mind.
She had a solid reputation and he
had no business raking her over the coals for putting herself in danger. They
were cops. Peril came with the work.
Nothing like a
little conflict to get things started. J
That's it for this
week. Happy reading.
