“He’s completed his thirty-fifth year.”
She couldn’t help but wring her hands
at the thought of a grey beard and broken teeth, worms sprouting out of every
orifice. Maybe he wouldn’t live that long, then she would administer all the
territory they had between them.
“Is he landed?”
“He has a few parcels in the region of
Lara, called Vilviestre.”
“A few parcels?”

That's not the last piece of her mind she's going to give him!
Thanks so much stopping by! I trade comments for comments! Get a lot more wonderful excerpts today at SixSunday.com.
Oh, I hope he turns out to be different from what she expects.
ReplyDeleteLOL, love her vision of what he must be like at the creaky old age of 35 :)
ReplyDeleteYes, Jessica, he's quite different from this vision... but by the end the reader may wish a much worse fate on Lambra!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE how she pictures him. However, I just happen to be 35 and shall now put my head in a bucket and cry, lol. Fab six!
ReplyDeleteIt amuses me, too, to write from her 15-year-old POV -- I'm 37 now!
DeleteInteresting. I'm certainly hoping along with Angela that this 35 year old turns out to be pretty dashing! Fun six!
ReplyDeleteI'm 33 now, and the idea of being 35 still somehow seems old to me! Although back then, 35 probably seemed a lot older than it does today.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to find this work again! I too hope her vision of this 35 year old is a bit off. :) I can't wait to read this!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenna!
