I'm having a lot of fun with Six Sentence Sunday. Thanks to all who checked out my entry last week.
Here's a little more from my fun contemporary fantasy, Surfacing:Clouds roiled over the ocean as AJ waited. Unable to sit still, he paced along the islet. His nerves jangled in his skin. He should have gone home for his guitar, but he couldn’t face Grandpa. He wasn’t sure he would be able to face Cassiopeia, but he had to. To save her life, he had to lie to her.

The visual in line one puts me right in the scene. The tension grows as our hero rationalizes the need to lie. I know I didnt put the book down in this chapter.
Cate, just from these six sentences I can tell this is an intriguing story. Thanks for sharing!
Sometimes,I lie is the best course. Good snippet
Yes, lots of tension in that scene.
Great tension, Cate.
Great suspense and tension.
OOh, I love it. To save her life he had to lie to her? Good work.
Sounds intriguing. Great job!
Very intense and very well written!
Good description of his internal conflict!
Like how you used the setting to complement his mood -well done!
Looking forward to this one.
Great sense of internal conflict here. Can't wait to see why to save her, he has to lie to her.
Ooh! What a conflict!
Wonderful scene.
The "forced to lie" (I assume to protect the person being lied to--Cass) sounds like a great source of conflict.
Love the visual of the clouds rolling in.
Oh crap, that lying stuff NEVER works. Bad hero, bad! Beautiful work, Cate!
Great six! Looking forward to reading more.
Super six sentences. So much information is conveyed. Love the suspenseful ending.
