I had so much fun picking last week’s Six Sentence Sunday that I decided to do it again.
This week, I’m sharing a few sentences from the scene where Dave meets his daughter. Enjoy!
He looked down at the girl, who’d plastered herself to her mamma’s leg and was watching him with wide eyes —gulp — hazel eyes that looked a lot like his. He crouched down so he was on her level, hoping to put her at ease. “Hi, Tara. That’s a beautiful name.”
“Thank you.” She popped her thumb in her mouth.
“You know who I am?”

Aw, sweet six. Love his ‘gulp’. Shows how nervous he is. Very nice!

You show his nervousness and realization so well here. BTW, your link from SSS is broken 🙁

Yeah — Karla pointed that out. Not sure what happened — but I did notice while visiting other sites that some just link to a home page. Will try that next week.
