Back to Hump Day Hook!
Back with my (first ever) contemporary romance, which will be releasing soon.
Ivy and Alan’s first meeting after eight years didn’t go so well. Alan learned Ivy had a daughter and assumed, because of the girls dark hair, that Ivy had kept his own child from him. Ivy is furious that he made this assumption, that she would keep a child from him. She, and his mother, have told Alan that the child was fathered by another man, Justin. The man she was sort of dating the last time Alan and Ivy saw each other. Alan has come to ‘apologize’ but doesn’t do so well:
“And where is Justin? Why isn’t he defending himself?” Alan folded his arms across his chest.
The venom faded at the mention of Justin. She backed off and turned away. Angry as she was at him, she wasn’t about to let him see the grief she still carried. “He’s gone.”
“Convenient.”
She straightened her back. “No. It really isn’t.”
“Of course it is. For him.”
“He’s dead, you asshole. Get out of my studio.”

Oh no!!!!! Made me feel sad for her… The coldness in the other tone–WOW
~bows~ Thanks, Kerrianne!! I promise it warms up after this…but yes, their first few meetings are a bit harsh and cold. Time doesn’t heal all wounds 😉
He’d better run really fast and never come back, what an ass. Who the hell does he think he is?
LOL. He doesn’t run…and he softens up…promise. 😀 But it’s funny you say that, because Ivy says the EXACT same thing in the next chapter. 😀
Wow, I can see the future!!
Ouch! No, he didn’t do so well at all. Poor Ivy!
LOL. I know, right? Poor Ivy indeed…she does get a proper apology, though…so don’t worry too much. 😀
Man he has decades of apologizing to do !
LOL. Yes he does, Sue!! He does eventually manage to pull his head out of his ass. 😉
Ouch. A great hook there.
