KAYLOB'S GOT IT BAD!


                  Happy Sunday everyone and thank you for stopping by for a visit.

              I'm giving you snippets from the prequel from Seasons of Love and War. Thought it was time for some cheer.


Left off last week with Kaylob telling Beth Ann that it wasn't every day you meet the girl you're gonna marry.

Since Beth Ann has never even liked a boy, it may take her a while to warm up to him.
Even if he is handsome, with the most beautiful eyes she's ever seen.

And for some odd reason she has feelings of butterflies swarming in flights of fancy in her stomach.




“Beth Ann wait! please don’t leave.”                         

His deep voice did something to her she didn't fully understand.

She whipped around trying to act madder than she felt, “I'm never going to be anybody’s wife, 


ever!” she locked her gaze on him.

“Why would you say that? he asked, practically laughing.

“Because, I don’t ever want to cook and I'll never have kids and, and, I just don’t like boys.”

His grin reached the corners of his eyes, “oh, I think you like me just fine, why else would your face be so red?"  he chuckled.


 “Besides, I have plenty of time to help you change your mind," 




                                                   
                                                       I would say Kaylob is smitten and smitten bad.

  6. I think Kaylob understands her better than she knows herself. It's wonderful to have a glimpse of them as younger, happier people. Excellent excerpt!

  12. Are they the same age? Usually girls mature a little faster than boys.

    1. No, he's older and way more mature. Actually Beth Ann is a little bit immature which will come out later due to her being so sheltered and Kaylob had to grow up fast. It will all come out. :-) Thank you Sue.

  13. That was fun. I love the strength she shows for speaking up for what she wants and him for seeing right through it. More please.
