I've been getting back into my women's fiction work in progress this week. The Fall Line is a story set in ski country, with some cross-over characters from Dancing in the White Room. It's been giving me fits and starts, but I hope to get it moving forward again as I'm getting close to putting 'the end' on it and finishing the draft.
In this scene, the main character, Mia, has broken it off once and for all with her boyfriend, Connor.
"Answer me this, Mia --did you ever love me?"
"Of course I did." All the good times we'd had together raced through my brain—Connor holding my hand as we watched fireworks, Connor sitting behind me on a toboggan, his arms around my waist as we careened down the hill behind the Inn, Connor undressing me for the first time, his eyes heavy with want. I had loved him, hadn't I?
"I don't believe you ever did." He stood up and walked out the door without looking back.
No, I wanted to shout, I did love you. It's just that I loved skiing more.
