With my release date just three weeks a way, I'm continuing with another excerpt from
An Infamous Marriage. This week Elizabeth has just shocked Jack by bursting into laughter in the middle of a serious conversation, the most cordial they've had since their reunion, in which she assures him she's glad he didn't die of the wounds he received at the Battle of Queenston Heights:
“What,” he ground out, dropping her hand, “is so amusing?”
With difficulty she calmed herself enough to speak. “We’ve established we don’t wish each other dead. I suppose it’s a beginning.”
He stared at her, blinked, then laughed along with her. “An excellent beginning.”

It certainly is a place to begin. Wonder where they go next. Fun six.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sabrina! They've still got quite a journey ahead of them.
DeleteGreat beginning, at least they both have a good sense of humor! Really enjoying this story, another terrific six!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Veronica! I think a good sense of humor is a necessary foundation for happiness, myself. :-)
Deletelol well yes, that would be helpful :-)
ReplyDeleteSometimes you have to start very far down and work your way up. :)
DeleteAn excellent beginning indeed but I hope far, far from the end. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, very far indeed.
DeleteThat really is a good place for them to start and they're both laughing! Great 6 :)
ReplyDeleteYep, laughter is a foundation for all kind of good things.
DeleteYes indeed, a good place to start.
ReplyDeleteNaturally, it only gets better from there (except for the one bit toward the end where it temporarily gets worse, of course).
DeleteIt's a good beginning when you're alive! Looking forward to this book! And I'm posting the cover on my FB page as a thanks for the nice comment you left me.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Patricia!
DeleteIndeed! Looking forward to the rest!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Taryn! I can hardly believe it's almost release day.
DeleteThey have something in common! Excellent! :)
ReplyDeleteYes...and more than they yet realize.
DeleteHa! I guess you have to start somewhere:)
ReplyDeleteAn excellent beginning indeed.
