Rainbow snippet

Here's a six sentence snippet of my WIP; you can find loads more at the Rainbow snippet FB group. Mine is more than six, but my sentences are short.

“Is there some personal connection between you and the ship?”
“Do you usually go around reading people’s minds?” Dominic sat back, leaning on the side of the carver chair and cradling his drink. “You talked about your great great whatever ancestor and that piece of rock. My great great doodah uncle was captain of Troilus.”
“Good God.” Morgan steadied his hands on the edge of the table. “Well, that was just my lucky guess. Or maybe an unlucky one.”

Thanks - it's a peculiar story!

I have been wondering for years about Jonty's sea-chest. Did the long ago mid that owned it look like him at all? And is some AOS birdie coming around to roost in this last? (I can hope.)

LOL - he may well have looked just like Jonty, the owner of that there chest. Alas, this story is quite another kettle of fish.

Thanks all round my dear.

Banter I do very well. Sex scenes I'm hopeless at but banter I get the gold!

Ta, love. This is one of those old plots/WIPs that was searching for a place/story to live. At long last it's found one. I think.

I love the phrase "cradled his drink." Very visual.

Thank you! Although I have to confess that it's a phrase I might overuse.
