AND JERICHO BURNED
Excerpt:
The keyboard
player, in his enormous black hat and flowing pastel paisley shirt, brought up
the rear of the line. He walked slowly, checking out the women from the safety
of the shadow his hat cast over his face. He paused every so often, as if
examining the goods on display. When he reached Lucy, he stopped.
Although she
couldn’t see his eyes, she felt his gaze, as if he peered straight through to
her soul. He leaned closer, stealing what little air space remained. Heart
sprinting and lungs compressing, she wrestled the panic-attack. This wasn’t the
time for her claustrophobia to launch itself. She huddled closer to the wall,
trying to escape his hovering presence, trying not to be too obvious as she
gasped for breath.
“What’s your name?”
he asked in a gruff voice.
The women around
her fell silent.
Blood pounded in
her ears. She couldn’t have
heard him correctly. Oversized stud-muffins never paid attention to her.
But he took her
hand and brought it to his mouth. His lips were soft, his breath hot. Shivers
sprinted on her spine. He touched his tongue to the center of her palm, and her
bones melted like icicles in a rainforest.
This couldn’t be
happening, not to her. First Bill Danby declared he planned to marry her, and
now this semi-famous musician was hitting on her.
