It’s cloudy here in Atlanta, and not too warm. I love it!
Here’s another snippet from “Unexpected Journey” published by MLR Press. It follows last week’s excerpt. (John–first person)

Hollis watched me, but I couldn’t read the expression on his face, though I had a hard enough time focusing since I was
starting to see double.
We made it back to the motel much later, Hollis practically dragging me to the room since I was unsteady on my feet, and
then he tucked me into bed.
“Wish I could do this with you every night,” I murmured, and drifted off to sleep. I thought I heard Hollis’s breath hitch, but I was soon lost to the world.
The [next] morning sun was bright. Too bright. I sat up in bed, still in my clothes from the evening before. My head was pounding and my mouth tasted nasty. I almost thought I was back in my condo in Kansas, the situation was so familiar. But then I remembered I was on a spur-of-the-moment road trip, with the sexiest, kindest man I’d ever met.
What the hell had I done last night?

Oh dear. What a waste of a night, lol.
Right? ROFL
Ah that moment of waking up unsure of what you did the night before.
Fun, isn’t it?
What did he do?
He drank too much
I can’t wait to find out what he did do last night
Hehe. Last week’s snippet gives a synopsis.
Ohhhhh, boy. Yeah, he definitely needs to find out what he’s done, LOL. My guess: More than he’s hoping but less than he could have.
Agreed.
The last sentence was perfect…
Thank you
Uh oh. He should check social media just in case. lol Great snippet, J.D.
Bahahaha… maybe he should! Thanks
Not nearly as much as he wishes he had?
Probably.
