This Sunday continues with an excerpt from Bonded in Exile. Hope you all are enjoying it!
Emily’s breath hitched in her throat; she could practically feel Silas probing her emotions, his dark violet eyes studying her like a bug under glass. She tried to pull her walls up, wanting some time alone to sort out everything Riley had said. Lord help her, it felt like her whole world had just caved in for the second time this week.
“What’s going on, Emily? You’re shutting me out, why?”
“I’m not,” she whispered, a pathetic denial neither one of them was buying.
I can totally feel her emotional distress. Another great six!
A moody and intriguing six. Well done!
Great description of her anxiety and fear!
Awww. I’m glad that she shut him out (even if I do like him). It sounds like things are a little raw right now. It is good that she is trying to protect herself a little after her world’s caved in. 🙂
Love the tension and emotion in your snippet!
Poor Emily. It’s hard when you don’t know who to trust.
I nice scene, the confusion and uncertainty are very clear. Good Six 🙂
Great six! Loved this: “his dark violet eyes studying her like a bug under glass”, and the last line. Nicely done!
