A happy rainy Saturday to you! Hope you’re snuggled down with a book somewhere.
Here’s another snippet from my story “Norwegian Woody,” the fourth book in the Let It Beatle series (titles based on songs by The Beatles). Rafe and Woody are talking over dinner. (from Woody’s point of view)

Rafe swirled spaghetti around his fork. “Can I ask you something?”
I got him another soda from the fridge and more water for me. “Sure.”
“When was the last time you went out with a guy? Or even to a club?”
“It’s been a while. I’m fine with things as they are.”
“Really? You’re okay being alone? Don’t you have…needs like everybody else?”
“Sure.” I grinned. “That’s what my fist is for.”
He rolled his eyes. “I’m serious. After all you’ve been through, you deserve to be with a…man who would move heaven and earth and love you beyond reason.”
I was surprised that he would say this. It was so far outside his comfort zone, it wasn’t funny. Still…“After the things you’ve done, the way you’ve made fun of me, I’m not sure how to take that.”
Rafe winced. “I know, and I understand. I meant it, though.”
I leaned back in my chair to study him. He seemed sincere. “Okay.”
“Thank you.”

Intriguing conversation.
Thank you. 🙂
Fist? o_O
🙂
Good comeback on the narrator’s part to the question whether he has needs like everyone else’. 🙂
thanks 🙂
Oooh…former foes become lovers? ♡
yup 😉
Well, that’s certainly interesting. I like how Woody tries to make light of it, but Rafe won’t let him.
thanks 🙂
That would be quite a difficult one to decipher – I never know what to say when someone comes out with something that sounds nothing like them. It seems like they know each other well.
They do 🙂
Sounds like we’re on the verge of their relationship changing.
Yes, indeed. 🙂
Interesting conversation. I want to see where it’s going.
thanks 🙂
