We also bought a car because we are dividing our time (doesn't that sound hoity-toity? hee, hee) between Germany and Canada and when we're here, we need something to drive.
Only five days until PERCEPTION officially releases! Whoot! I'm really excited about this book and I'm already plotting out and writing book two, VOLITION. You will find the first chapter at the end of Perception.
Anyway, I have to run and eat some bratvurst or schnitzel and a lot of buns. Here is the last teaser before the rocket launches!
Teaser #5
Neither of us spoke a
word the entire way to the downtown destination. Noah walked me back to the
gates, keeping his distance. No more elbow or lower back touching.
“That was pretty
crazy,” I finally said. I wondered what he’d been thinking, if he regretted
helping me.
“Yup.”
“It was brave of you,”
I added, trying to encourage him. “To, you know, do what you did.”
“Brave or stupid.” He
finally looked at me. “You were pretty brave yourself.”
“Brave or stupid.” I
smiled at him, coaxing him with my eyes to do the same. He consented faintly.
“Are you okay?” I paused
near the gate. “I mean, I’m sorry...”
“Hey, it’s not your
fault. I’m just glad you didn’t get hurt.”
He worried about me.
I felt something sizzling just beneath the surface, connecting us. Or maybe I
was losing my mind. Was I was the only one who felt the charge between us? I
didn’t think so. Noah stared at me as we stopped under the street lamp, I could
see the torment in his eyes.
We were on a
dangerous precipice, I could feel it. If only things were different, if only...
“Good night, Zoe,” he
said, but he didn’t move. And I couldn’t just walk away after all he’d done for
me.
Before I could think
it through, I stepped forward and gave him a hug. “Thank you.”
He embraced me back, holding
me a moment longer. “I’ll see you later,” he said. The words sound choked, like
it pained him to say them.
Like he didn’t mean
it.
Have a great time in Germany! Glad you arrived safely!
