I’m always happy to be part of Saturday Spankings, many
wonderful writers sharing eight sentences. My TBR list grows and I hope some of
my books will go on your reading list.
In today’s snippet from Cassie’s Conflict, Tom is once again
becoming overly worried about Cassie’s health after she had a brief dizzy
spell. He makes a doctor’s appointment for her the next day without bothering
to consult her. Cassie is angry at his high-handed ways and goes into a small
rant. Tom finally tells her enough – that he doesn’t want to hear another word.
He got his wish, even as the nurse tried to do a work up Cassie follows Tom’s
orders and says nothing.
“Well what’s the problem
today?” she asked in a chipper little voice, but I ignored the question.
She looked back and forth
between us until Tom spoke up. “She’s been having dizzy spells and they’ve
gotten worse lately, she fainted last night and I’m worried.”
The nurse turned to me,
“Honey, just sit here on the table and let me get your blood pressure. Now what
were you doing last night before you fainted, when had you eaten last?” I
continued to ignore her. As far as I was concerned, this was Tom’s visit and he
could do the talking.
Tom answered her questions
as she did her workup. Finally she turned to him in a lower voice and asked,
“Does she speak?”
“She can talk a blue
streak when she wants to, she is just being obstinate at the moment, but that’s
going to change soon, isn’t it, Cassie Jane?”
Blurb : Cassie is one busy lady. The new country club/spa has opened and the whole gang is enjoying all the amenities. That is until a new club member, Clara, begins to ride roughshod over everyone. The situation worsens until it becomes physical, but even that doesn’t stop it.
Cassie seems to find little conflicts everywhere she turns, but it’s not always her fault. Tom is over protective about her health, sending Cassie into a tantrum. In addition, a few things happen on the girl’s trip that lands Cassie, as well as the other ladies, in even more hot water. Through it all Tom is there to love and protect Cassie in his own unique way.
I hope you'll give all the Cassie books a read.
Cassie sure is being obstinate. I guess Tom did get his wish lol. I wonder if she will suddenly find her tongue after Tom's threat?

Roz she was mad clear through! I think I might just put up a little more of this next week.
DeleteNot just Cassie, but Cassie Jane. I think she's in a bit of trouble.
ReplyDeleteSo true. The nurse might not have heard the implied threat, but Cassie Jane sure did.
DeleteHeh. He has a nice turn of phrase, that Tom. "“She can talk a blue streak when she wants to"
ReplyDeleteTom's a good old boy raise in the south!
DeleteOopsie!!! I am thinking that Cassie better become an active participant in her medical situation. LOL! Great snippet, PK! I am very much enjoying the read! Have a wonderful long weekend! Many hugs,

Cassie can't always seem to keep her temper, bless her heart. I'm so glad you're enjoying it.
DeleteYikes! Cassie Jane is in trouble!
ReplyDeleteMaybe she should just change her permanent address to 'trouble'.
DeleteTom definitely knows how to get Cassie to talk - even sing sometimes. lol
ReplyDeleteGood way of putting it!
DeleteThanks Lucy.
ReplyDeleteLucy I was trying to change my comment to a reply and accidentally deleted your comment - but I do thank you.
DeleteOh boy. :) I think Tom knows what he needs to do. I can feel it coming. Love it!
ReplyDeleteTom often has a one track mind and I think you'er right in knowing what's coming.
DeleteShe might be in trouble. He broke out the middle name. :) Great snippet.
ReplyDelete~Livia
When he does, she usually is.
DeleteLOL!! Cassie is hilarious!!
ReplyDeleteShe is a woman of strong mind and opinions - it does make her a lot of fun.
DeleteUh-oh. The use of the middle name never bodes well for the sub.
ReplyDeleteAnd Tom rarely hesitates to whip it out. It's a clear warning.
