This scene is between my sweet, southern, cross-dressing cupcake baker and his wise grandmother.
“Quentin,
I’ve been alive a long time. I have some friends and many acquaintances and few
illusions about any of them. You are one of the finest people I know, deserving
of every good thing this world has to offer, I want you to know that.”
No
chance of holding back. The tears pushed out of his eyes, and he swiped at them
before they could reach his cheek.
Her
hand cupped his chin. “I want you to believe that.”
“Thank you.” But believing was even harder than making friends.Check out all the sensational, sexy, and satisfying Sixes here: http://www.sixsunday.com/

ReplyDeleteI love grandmothers because they're not afraid to speak the truth, and what she says makes me want to know more about Quentin. Nicely done.

Wow, what a very touching scene. I'm glad he has a gramma who loves him but so true, relatives only help so much and then a person needs friends. Excellent excerpt, definitely makes me want to read more.
