So, here's a bit more from About Her, a work in progress and the sequel to About Us.
She wasn’t totally sure how much she had left on her credit card. Near zero on her debit card and less than a $100 cash in her purse. She had to pay a fine for breaking her contract early and the flight home cost more than she’d expected. If she wasn’t careful, she’d be begging her parents for money. Or prostituting herself. She bit her lip. How did one set up a call girl service? The classy kind, where she could charge a lot of money and only service really hot clients?

ReplyDeleteThank you, Annalisa!
DeleteTimes are tough! :-) I'm thinking he'll pay for dinner. I mean, he invited her, right?? lol
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't write him any other way :)
DeleteOh my, her choices for a quick career aren't too realistic! But her desperation comes through...I'm assuming he'll be gallant, at least paying for dinner. Enjoyed the snippet!
ReplyDeleteShelley and reality haven't always been the best of friends. She has a lot to learn about that.
DeleteSounds like she's dreaming with her call girl service rules. Let's hope she doesn't have to find that out!
ReplyDeleteShe's not been a real good problem solver yet. LOL
DeleteHer thoughts about prostitution seem spot on, thinking it's sort of for the woman's benefit rather than the man's.
ReplyDeleteI suppose if you were in demand enough, you could be choosy.
DeleteA fine snippet, Elizabeth. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Thanks Janie!
DeleteHi, Elizabeth...
ReplyDeleteGreat little snippet! I really like the voice of your character...
Thank you, Michael. Getting the voice right is such a worry. I'm always afraid every character will sound the same.
