Planning the Future
"I cannot love you," the heroine said
running a hand across his cheek
and tucking the cow-lick of hair
back into the golden mass.
"I have seen the synopsis
and you would break my heart."
"I wouldn't," he replied,
catching her hand and pressing the
palm to his perfect lips
"For I will love the until the end of time."
"Which is in a hundred and sixty pages,"
she said, "but you die three chapters
from the end of the book.
I couldn't love a character
who leaves me so bereft
and hasn't a hope
of appearing in the sequel.

The heartless minx!
Not at all - she's saving herself!
Oh Rachel. I can't tell you how often you make me laugh first thing in the morning.
Thank you my dear friend.
What? Do you watch me in the shower then?
Thanks Aims :)
*claps* I love it. Very pragmatic, this heroine. I could take a pointer. "Are you applying for the job of partner? Yes? May I see the plotline and synopsis please?"
Oh, indeed yes!
I should like to have a three-book contract in place, too!
