Here’s eight sentences from Cupid in Camo, a Valentine’s short story, for Weekend Writing Warriors 8 sentence Sunday in the romance category.
Lindy maneuvered the enormous bouquet of red and silver heart-shaped balloons from her old station wagon. Wouldn’t her serious, hard-working fiancé be surprised? They’d planned to meet for dinner after he’d finished some paperwork at the office. Six months ago she would have never imagined making floral deliveries, then her company farmed out their customer service overseas.
Rather than taking the elevator she popped up the two flights without effort. The firm had already ended their business day, but the suite remained unlocked. Only a single lamp lit the reception area, as she skipped down the hall with the balloons bouncing against the walls and her head. Quietly, she turned the door knob to Brad’s office, hmm … no one there.
Tune in next week for another eight. Then on Monday, I’ll post the entire story. Keep up with my works in progress and other news by signing up for my newsletter. Now it time to check out the other amazing authors at Weekend Writing Warriors.

Oh no. Is she going to get a nasty surprise? No post for me this week, just moderating : )

Hmm. Where would we be if everything was perfect? Not in the writing business. So we’re in a case of suspension.. While you’re at it, pass a case of champagne over here or at least a bottle. Cliffhanger here. Where the hell is he?.
