It's short but all I have right now.
Damn my luck! Luke didn’t need to look down to see who just ran into him. He could smell Sunflowers, her favorite perfume. He looked anyway.
“Sorry.” She all but ran out of the coffee shop, almost tripping over a little girl who was clutching her momma’s hand.
Luke lost his desire for coffee. All he wanted to do was run after Sara and hold her, yell at her, something. Anything just to be near her. He walked to the counter and ordered the coffee of the day and then sat at a table, knowing if he left now he would try to follow her wherever she went.
He had finished his coffee when Lizzie came inside.
“Sorry I’m late.” She grabbed his coffee to take a drink, realized it was empty and made a face.
“Why don’t you get us some more coffee and then you can tell me how college life is treating ya.” He gave her hair a tug. “I’ve missed you.”
“Ditto” She stuck out her tongue at him, and then she got up to get their coffee. “Why don’t we take a walk?”
“Let’s not.”
“Why not?” She saw the sadness in his eyes. “She’s in town this weekend. Damnit.”

GRRRRR!!! This is not new! I've read this! I see a new part to OB and I pounce like a dog on a bone... what do I get? Old news!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's good old news though, you know that. One thing: Count the times you say 'coffee'. Also, the part that comes before this mentions coffee toward the end so put together thats ALOT of coffee! We need to work on that. I'm sending some suggestions in your EC for alternates like 'he ordered the brew of the day', etc.
It's to to The Nanna and Shawana. I had not posted it yet. You need to post!!!!
