Snippet Sunday: At First Sight

Another snippet from our manuscript Same Time Tomorrow. This features our leading lady Chloe and her best friend Dana at a party in New York, where Chloe is about to see Gabriel for the very first time in the story...


“How can any woman ever tire of fashion?” Dana wanted to know. “You’re a disgrace to your gender.”
“I’m tired of shoots with painfully skinny models who look like clothes hangers with faces,” Chloe said. “I want something fresh, new.”
“I want that,” Dana said, looking past Chloe.
“What?” Chloe turned in the direction of Dana’s wanton gaze. Across the room, a tall, blond man with a seductive smile was engaged in an animated conversation with three women who hung on his every word.
“Yes, I definitely want that,” Dana said again.
“He’s probably already taken,” Chloe said, still watching him.

  2. Nice snippet--I don't blame her for wanting that tall, blonde man...I had a weakness for them until I met my tall, dark and handsome husband.

  3. I'm an even bigger disgrace to my gender, having never been into fashion to begin with! LOL Great snippet -- the conversation flows beautifully.

  4. Chloe sounds very optimistic, I like her view about fashion though.

  5. I've always tended to think about fashion as this awful self absorbed industry... the designers think they're the center of the universe and the models have the deadest eyes I have ever seen in people.
