Back at Six Sentence Sunday

Wow. Long time, no blog, eh? It’s been too long since I jumped into Six Sentence Sunday, so here goes.

When last we left Dave and Melinda, they’d just started making out. Terrible place to leave the poor dears, I know. These six sentences pick up several days later. Dave’s on the road with his team, still stewing over Mel’s attack on his character. Telling him she’d kept their daughter a secret because he didn’t strike her as father material. Hmph.

Dave reassumed his batting stance, ready to take another swing.

Matt stopped him by dropping a hand on his shoulder. “You’ve hit enough.”

Three hours at the batting cage wasn’t nearly long enough. He wanted to keep smacking balls around until he no longer saw the doubt in Mel’s big, green eyes …  until he forgot the mother of his child had so little faith in him. If she doubted his skills as much as he doubted himself, he didn’t stand a chance of succeeding.
