Welcome back to the Weekend Writing Warriors!
I’m still keeping you all intrigued with the beginning of the series [amazon_link id=”B00BEMN5SC” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Changing Tracks (The Dominion Falls Series book 1)[/amazon_link]. You know, my amnesiac with the eidetic memory, Jane Doe…and the brothel-owner, anti-hero…Cole Mitchell.
Since everyone enjoyed Cole’s POV last week, I decided to skip ahead a few paragraphs and keep his POV for this week and next. There’s just been an “incident”…an Indian raid on the town, and Cole rushes off to find Jane…:
She stood tall, her arms crossed in front of her chest. The tremor in her hand when she swiped at her cheek was impossible to miss. Hammy’s arm circled her shoulders and she didn’t pull away from the comfort.
In a moment a smile slipped across those lips. Cole would have to give Hammy a few free beers for taking care of his woman so well.
His woman? Where had that come from?
He didn’t want to care, he excelled at not caring; but when he caught the glimmer of a fresh tear, concern poured out of him like beer from the tap.

Head back on over to the Weekend Writing Warriors to read many more wonderful offerings!
glad you stayed in his POV, I like him! Love the part about “his woman”
Awww, I liked it! He cares in spite of himself and I enjoyed the way you showed his concern and self realization. Great 8!
like beer from the tap – good image and appropriate for the character
Love this eight and the imagery. You have it all and thanks for sharing it.
He can’t help himself. I love it. 🙂
Sounds like he cares more than he intended to.
This is intriguing! I like this line: “He didn’t want to care, he excelled at not caring; but when he caught the glimmer of a fresh tear, concern poured out of him like beer from the tap.” That really tells us a lot about Cole. We’re watching the fall to his knees begin?? 🙂
Terrific imagery, well done.
