Six Sentence Sunday, a taste of "Sunny Days, Moonlit Nights"

Welcome to a snippet from "Sunny Days, Moonlit Nights"

“It’s about time you called,” he said in a loud, angry voice.
“Brad, calm down.”
“Don’t tell me to calm down! You disappear into the night,
the police think I killed you, the newspapers have already tried and
convicted me…don’t tell me to calm down,” he yelled.
“Brad, if you don’t calm down, I’m hanging up the
phone…then I’m calling the newspapers and telling them you did
try to kill me and that’s why I ran away!” she countered.
“You wouldn’t dare!” he gasped.

Sounds like he has a reason to be pissed at her, and how she's threatening him? I'd hang up on her.

She's got him where she wants him! ;^)

She wouldn't act on the threat but she's not giving in to him, either. He is the bad guy here, not her. Thank you for all your comments. Seems like everyone is reading with great interest. I appreciate that!

Great six - really enjoyable!

1000th.monkey said...

so, did you really try to kill her, or is she just threatening him? I'm curious!

Jean Joachim Books said...

No, he didn't try to kill her and yes she is just threatening him. But he's a bully and won't let her leave him, divorce him. So she ran away and is hiding from him. That's why people think he killed her. She disappeared. But she is getting stronger and is determined to have her freedom, though he is a rich and powerful adversary. Hope this helps answer your question. Thanks for your comment.
