Happy Six Sunday! The past few weeks, I’ve been posting lines from the scene where my MC, Dylanie, meets a mystery man outside her second-story balcony at Oakleigh House. So far, he’s called her name, asked to be invited in, and made a few mildly suggestive remarks. Dylan, who is a psychic medium, is trying to figure out if he’s real or a spirit.
He asks her one last time if he can come in:
My brain screams no, no, no!
“Yes.” It comes out like an exhale, one that’s been trapped inside the air-tight cage that is my pathetic life. It feels good to say yes to something unapproved and maybe even dangerous.
Another blink and he’s on the balcony with me. Shit.
Oopsie. Dylan’s in for it now. 🙂
As always, please check out the other Six Sunday participants and have a great week!

Great writing!
Great pacing and tension, as well as characterization in just 6 sentences! I especially liked this line: “It comes out like an exhale, one that’s been trapped inside the air-tight cage that is my pathetic life.”
I’m on the edge of my seat with this one. Dying to know who this guy is and what he wants! Great six!!
Given his quick appearance it seems that he’s of the supernatural/immortal type. But the good news is he asked to come in first rather than just showing up in her house. He has manners. Good six!
Oh, I love love love this part! So happy I’ve had the privilege of reading this one. Woo….so good!
Seriously good! Those middle three sentences are killer.
Incredible tension and movement. She’s trapped between saying “no” and “yes.” And, on the balcony really makes this leap!
Wow, what a teaser. Can’t wait to read more and find out who he is!
I love how these six reveal so much more about Dylan than they do about the mysterious man. 😉
Oh boy. It’s never good to invite strangers in. What happens next?!?
Great suspense and mystery as to what he is. Dylanie’s conflict is very credible, too. Great six, Steph!
This just keeps getting better and better. The back and forth between fear and desire is fun. You’ve maintained the tension for about three Sundays now and I’m still hooked.
Wonderful tension! I love your scene. I can’t wait to find out what happens next!
she liked saying yes. That’s an interesting detail 🙂
Love it when the mouth goes a different direction than the brain! Great six!
Oh Dylanie! *offers her a taser* He must have quite a high level of mind control. 🙂 nice 6.
