Excerpt Two
“Kasey,” I yelled stupidly, knowing it wouldn’t do any good but
unable to stop myself. “Kasey, where are you?”
I burst through another door to find the bathroom, a layer of
steam frozen in the air. I pulled the curtain back without even thinking about
who might be in the shower, and slumped with relief when I found Kasey. He held
a washcloth to his face as a stream of water rained down on him, frozen in
place.
“Kasey,” I breathed happily, and reached out to grab his hand.
As I touched him, the same spark I always felt when we made
contact erupted and the world came to life again. Water spewed all over me,
soaking my clothes, spilling over onto the floor, but I didn’t care.
Kasey startled and yelped a little when he saw me. He recovered
quickly. “Blue? What happened?”
I smiled, my tears mixing with the hot water from the shower as I
launched myself at him, hugging him tightly. He smiled back and wrapped his
arms around me.
Thank god I found you! I thought. “I’m so glad you’re here,” I
whispered in his ear.
“I knew you would come back,” he whispered back, just before his
lips found mine.
About the Author:
Rose Shababy
and her family reside in eastern Washington State. Rose grew up in the
Northwest but swears she’s going to move to warmer climates someday. She’s
claimed this for over 20 years, however, and has yet to move more than 75 miles
away from her mother.
Rose has a deep
love of all things Star Trek and yearns to travel the heavens, as well as an
intense desire to be bitten by a radioactive spider. Unfortunately she sucks at
science and math so she hasn’t been able bring her dreams to life, instead
living vicariously through books, comics, television and film. She hopes to
someday make a million dollars so she can afford to buy her way to the
international space station, but she’d settle for being able to fly around the
world and leap tall buildings in a single bound.
Rose also loves
to cook and worked for years in a gourmet Italian grocery and deli where she
learned to hone her skills. She prepares culinary masterpieces for her family,
but fervently wishes the dishes would wash themselves. Especially now that her dishwashers/children
are nearly grown and only one still lives at home.
Rose likes to
use her free time wisely. For instance, she likes to daydream, will often read
for hours until she falls asleep on the couch with an electric blanket and a
warm tabby cat curled up on her hip, as well as spending cozy weekend days
watching Syfy movies like Sharknado and Mega Piranha with her husband.
If Rose were a
cartoon animal, she’d prefer to be a wise old owl or a sleek and sexy jaguar,
but in reality she’d probably be a myopic mole with coke-bottle glasses.
