Good news! I'm pretty sure I'm in the next to the last--or possibly, the next to the next to the last--chapter of Courting Cassandry! At any rate, the end is coming into sight. Here are a few new sentences from my writing sessions this week.I can't give you all the speaker attributions for the sentences below because it might give too much away, but in case you still need it, here's my mini cast of characters for those characters I do mention by name.
Cast of Characters
Cassandry: my forty-something heroine
Gerolt: my fifty-something hero
Egelina: Cassandry's teenaged daughter
Monday: Cassandry rode past
the village with its mix of neat and dilapidated cottages, into the smear of
greenery soaring skyward on either side of the forest road.
Tuesday: “I would remind you that the Lady Egelina is of age
to make her own choice. The monks have no obligation to return her to you
against her will.”
Wednesday: “I envied Gerolt his clothes and his jewels and
his privilege—but when I came home from the East, I found it was the love of
his children that I envied of him the most.”
Thursday: Gerolt sought Cassandry’s gaze, desperate for
wisdom greater than his own.
Friday: They stood at stalemate, until Cassandry appeared so
suddenly between them that Gerolt wondered if she had conjured herself from one
spot to another.
