I’m still being remiss and only getting thru half the snippets (blame computer and internet issues). This week is from something very rough and new, aiming it at one of the charity anthologies for the Pulse (or else a freebie down the road). It’s from the Kept Tears universe. It’s coming up on the anniversary of the day Aaron suffered the explosive amputation of his arm (and nearly his leg). Rhys (and Corrine) are trying hard to keep his spirits up and love him through the hard times.
Rhys widened his eyes after finding Corrine on his doorstep. He stepped back, letting her in, his stomach flipping. Her somber expression made him shiver. Had something happened to Aaron?
“You haven’t been answer your phone,” she said, brushing past him into the foyer.
The gut-twist worsened. “Is Aaron okay?”
“Not as such.”
If you’d like to play along, Rainbow Snippets is a Facebook community where we post up 6 sentences of one of our LGBT stories every Saturday. It’s been fun and you can find it here. Be sure to check out all the offers! It’s been a great supportive group!

This almost makes me cry, when I think of all the people in Nice who must be going through something just like this.

Yes, I know. I was a VA doctor and worked with a lot of veterans in this position.

“not as such” = sounds like the understatement of the century.

It really is. Corinne’s been with him through this anniversary before.

You’re doing a good job with these snippets in making me want to read this. Don’t worry about not getting around – I’m struggling as well especially as I work Sundays – so I’m just doing as much as I can each week.

Thanks all around. I’m off and have no real excuse other than internet issues (and visiting the parnets)
glad your’re enjoying it.

Poor Aaron, though he’s lucky he has a lot of good friends to help him.
