Sneak Peek...

It's Friday.

My brain is rather fried from the week but, I've gotten quite a bit of editing done.

Yay!

I'm going to include a little excerpt from my manuscript, just to give a little something-something.

Here we go:

“Take care of yourself, okay, sweetheart?” My lips curl upwards with his words. Feeling a hint of changing my mind and leaving with him.

But I need my time.

“Thanks, babe. I’ll text you later. I’m going to nap for a bit.” My mind is occupied with the Tylenol3 I’m going to take and the beauty of the drowsiness it’ll bring. Marcus kisses me, turns on his heel, and promptly leaves, closing the door behind him. Normally, I would question his sudden action and exit. He's one to savor our moments before parting. Not wanting to let me go.

But I know the reason.

Twisting my heel, I head for my bedroom. My eyes are heavy as I dig my hand into the side pocket of my bag, fishing out the prescribed painkillers. Entering my bathroom, I pop one in my mouth and stick my lips under the rushing tap water. The cold stream is satisfying, numbing my tongue. I strip down to my underwear and crawl under the covers, my body sinking into the mattress. My eyes carefully close as I succumb to the drug.
