Welcome to Rainbow Snippets weekend!
Carl meets Ben… “The Hippie Whisperer“…
—————————————————————————————
I tried to regroup. “Benjamin, I assume?” I held out my hand to shake his.
“Ben,” an unexpectedly sonorous voice responded as he took my hand in a confident grip, holding on long enough so I could feel the strength there. The warmth of it stole up my arm, but I tried hard to ignore it.
“Carl, right?” He smiled at me, a look in his amethyst-colored eyes that said he knew what I was thinking, and couldn’t care less about my opinion. Score one for Ben.
“Yes.” It was time to eat. Clearing my throat, I said, “Please sit, everyone.” I gave my son a glance that said, “you’re in trouble, boy,” and served the meal.

I know that look… I’ve given it.
It is a useful look, isn’t it? 🙂
Fun snippet! Love the last line but somehow I don’t think his son is too worried.
Not one bit! 🙂
Right? Ben is not lacking in that department, at all. 🙂
Ooo, steamy little exchange! (heart)
Thank you 🙂
I feel sorry for Carl – it can be hard to deal with super-confident people if you’re not like that yourself!
Agreed! 🙂
Ha! I like it. Thank you for sharing. And Happy Writing!
Thank you 🙂
