Excerpt:
~Noc~
“So
she’s your type,” Cora said, taking him back into their conversation, “But
you’re not gonna go there.”
Noc
shook his head. “She’s from here, I’m from home. I’m going home. But it isn’t even about that, babe. Tor got you back.
Frey got Finnie back. Won’t go on because you were there, you know. Franka
didn’t get her man back.”
“Don’t
say that in front of Apollo,” She whispered. “Maddie suggested that and it
pisses him off. He thinks she’s incapable of any emotion, much less love.”
“You
four couples aren’t the only ones who’ve known love, Cora,” he returned. “Not
bein’ a dick, but that’s the way it is. And she’s stone cold on the outside,
babe, but inside the woman is in some serious pain. She’s capable of emotion,
just like you and me, and I know that because I saw it.”
What
he didn’t share was that Franka Drakkar might be capable of more of it, with
the pain he saw in her eyes, the guilt that seemed to visibly weigh on her at
what she’d done.
She
just, for some reason, wouldn’t allow herself to let it show, even maybe fully
feel it.
That
reason was a mystery and Noc was a cop. Cops were big on mysteries. Solving
them, to be precise.
Fuck.
Another
reason he had to steer clear of Franka Drakkar.
Cora
nodded. “I think your perception of her is right, at least the way she is with
you, for whatever reason she gave you that particular Franka. What concerns me,
honey, is that it seems to mean so much to you.”
That
was what concerned him too.
“Woman’s
in pain, she gave me that, she gave me time,” he tried to explain it.
“Tomorrow, she’ll be gone and eventually she’ll be just another memory of this
place. But you spend hours with a woman drinking whiskey and watching her face
light up, the pain she’s trying to hide clearing clean away because she’s never
seen a phone before. We’ll just say that’ll be a memory I won’t forget.”
“I’ll
bet,” Cora replied, the concern shifting out of her expression, understanding
replacing it.
Noc
grabbed his knife and started cutting into the tender, moist, perfectly-cooked
steak on his plate.
Cora
changed the subject.
“I
can’t wait to show you my world, Noc. It’s gonna be awesome. You’re gonna love it.”
He
looked to her, meat in his mouth and chewing and smiling he said, “Can’t wait
either, babe.”
Her
face lit up too.
And
seeing it, Noc knew that’d be another memory he wouldn’t forget that he’d take
home from this crazy world.
There
it was.
They
were having dinner and Franka wasn’t invited.
Tomorrow
morning, she’d be leaving.
So
she was a memory of this world.
A
mysterious one.
A sad
one.
But
just a memory.
And
Noc had to live with that.
What
he wouldn’t admit was that he didn’t like it.

FANTASTICAL
BROKEN DOVE
About Kristen Ashley: Kristen Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA and nearly killed her mother and herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorise and she hadn’t taken her first breath!). Her mother said they took Kristen away, put her Mom back in her room, her mother looked out the window, and Gary was on fire (Dr. King had been assassinated four days before). Kristen’s Mom remembered thinking it was the end of the world. Quite the dramatic beginning. Nothing’s changed. Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana and has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus, she’s blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her family was (is) loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write. They all lived together on a very small farm in a small farm town in the heartland. She grew up with Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched). Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up. And as she keeps growing, it keeps getting better.
