The Cowboy's Girl Part 3, #TantalizingTuesday
Camden walked up to where Megan sat by the stream, leading Pistol by the reins. Megan watched in silence, unsure of Camden’s intentions and of her own emotions.“Can we talk?” He asked as he left Pistol tied up near Dusty.Megan was surprised Camden had followed her out to the meadow. He was hurting because of her and she was struggling with her decision to keep her pregnancy a secret. Her certainty was slowly dissolving as she considered what Camden had lost by not knowing. She’d just wanted him to realize his dream in the circuit but that wasn’t reason enough for him. Megan was beginning to see that now.Wetting her lips, Megan’s words came out rough, “I didn’t think we were talking.” She twisted her hands together and kept her eyes down.“I reckon I’ve been stubborn long enough.” Camden sat beside her in the grass. He reached over and engulfed her tiny hands in his much larger one.“My mama has Belle,” he offered.“Belle?” Megan risked a quick glance at Camden, a smile on her face at the use of a nickname for their daughter.Camden shrugged, grinning, “Fitting since her daddy is the beast.”

Yay! Camden is finally being nice again! This was a great tease. I hope the story will continue...
ReplyDeleteWarmed up this week. Finally gets hot next week...
DeleteI'm glad Camden is starting to be nice. Great tease hon
ReplyDeleteHow nice. I think I missed the middle one and will have to go back and read it. Are you building this story 200 words at a time?
ReplyDeleteI thought I would try to do a new set each six weeks. A completed story in 1200 words and 6 scenes. I'm enjoying the challenge. :)
DeleteThis is such a wonderful story! Can't wait until you have it finished so we can read the whole thing. I'm really starting to like them. :)
ReplyDeleteI love continuing to read this story and how Camden keeps warming up to Megan and finally apologizing.
ReplyDeleteHaving only 200 words each week has helped me learn to slow down the progression of a story. I tend to move the conflict along too quickly. Am loving this experience.
DeleteGlad he's turning out to be a decent guy. Keep it up.
