Yeah, it’s Saturday again! I’m soon going to be
off for Christmas and I’m going to have time to read. I’m looking forward to
all today’s snippets.
Today my snippet is from the soon to be released
fifth Cassie book, Cassie’s Conflicts.
Last week I told you Cassie was having trouble with Clara, another member of
the new club. Tom expressed his displeasure in his own way, both for Cassie
confronting Clara and also for spending the afternoon drinking and plotting
with Sue.
Cassie really tries to avoid the woman, but coming
out of the club one day Cassie sees Clara berating the young people from the
church, including Ryan and Allie, who are having a bake sale. Cassie
impatiently waits at her car for Clara to move on before she joins the
children.
Clara eventually headed straight past my car. I clamped my mouth
shut determined not to get involved. But I couldn’t stop myself from giving her
a hateful stare as she passed.
She caught sight of me and snarled, “What the hell are you staring
at Granny?”
“One sorry assed, hateful bitch,” I blurted out.
Heaven help me – I had no idea I was going to say that until I
heard it come out of my mouth.
“Bitch?” she shouted, seemingly outraged at what I had just said,
and headed straight toward me. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Ryan and Allie
come out from behind the tables running our way. Before they could reach us
Clara slapped me, hard, across the face.
Cassie’s Conflict will
be out in early January
I hope you'll give all the Cassie books a read.
It's will come as no surprise when Cassie is in trouble with Tom again!
ReplyDeleteEven Tom couldn't expect her to just ignore Clara after being slapped. But you never know with Tom.
DeleteOh goodness, what will Cassie do next! Don't blame her for that outburst, but she's sure to be in trouble!

I don't think it's going to be pretty.
DeleteOooopsy!!! Poor poor Cassie. Trouble ahead... LOL! She sure does find trouble!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the snippet, PK! I am looking forward to reading this one soon! Many hugs and your vacation time is just around the corner! Have a great weekend.

I think Clara is determined to annoy Cassie even though Cassie's trying to avoid her. Yep, vacation in one week!
DeleteCassie can't just stand anywhere with her hands at her side, she needs to be stirring that pot. Looking forward to this new one.
ReplyDeleteShe just stirred a little, but Clara got physical. Now Cassie can't just stand there!
DeleteCassie shouldn't get in trouble for this one. I hope Tom is understanding. I would have floored the woman!
ReplyDeleteI tend to agree, I hope you'll read and see how Cassie reacts.
DeleteThat is going to start a whole new world of trouble. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh Jolynn you are certainly right about that!
DeletePoor Cassie- I hope Tom doesn't punish her over this one. Clara sounds like she could use being taken in hand
ReplyDeleteTom doesn't think Cassie is always in the wrong, but he does want her safe. Someone does need to do something about Clara.
DeleteOh Cassie is never ever going to take that slap lying down!
ReplyDeleteMinelle - you're darn right about that!
DeleteWow, what a conflict!
ReplyDeleteCassie seems to find conflict everywhere she turns.
DeleteThanks Lucy!
ReplyDeleteYipes!! Now I'm dying to know what Cassie will do!
