Happy Sunday! Sooooo late – sorry!
I actually managed to post this a day early – go me! Hope you’re well. 🙂
Here’s a snippet from “Truck Me All Night Long,” published by MLR Press. (R for language)

“That was a helluva fuck, baby. Thanks,” I said, when we went back into the bar area.
“Glad you liked it,” Matt replied. “You looked like you needed a pick-me-up.”
“Did I now?” Had he been watching me?
“I saw you earlier, talking to that smoking hot guy that left.” So what am I, then?
“The bartender told me you only did one-night-stands with guys around my age, so after your friend left, I kept my eye on you. You seemed a little down.”
Oh no.
“So you felt sorry for me, is that it? You gave me a damn pity fuck?” Jesus.
“Maybe.”

Oh dear, nobody wants to think they’ve been pitied in that way. I hope there was more to it.
There’s more. 🙂
Oooh. This does not sound like the start of a beautiful relationship. Lots of “ouch” in this snippet. (Great dialogue, both internal and external, but lots of “ouch”!)
Thanks 🙂
