Excerpt;
EXCERPT
FOR 3PARTNERSINSHOPPING
The
author is doing something cool this time around with the excerpt from
Beyond Reach. Every blogger who has signed on for an excerpt stop
will showcase a part of the story when it’s their turn. If you
haven’t read the previous part yet, head over to
http://dealsharingaunt.blogspot.com/
to check
it out and then re-join my blog to continue the story.
Excerpt:
“Stop
calling me that. It’s irritating.” He laughs, a deep full-bellied
laugh, and I scowl. “Whatever.” Sitting back down on the bench, I
turn my back to him.
“Come
on, doll-face, don’t you want to be friends?” he snickers.
Ew,
sleazy. I’m seriously wondering what they’re putting in the water
around these parts. Between him and the weird old couple in the
truck, this has been the strangest few hours of my life.
“Ari!”
Ah,
crap. “Hi,
Zane.”
“Where
the hell are you?”
“Don’t
freak out. I’m okay.” There’s
worrying silence, and I just know he’s taking in my surroundings.
This is about to get a whole lot crazier.
“You’re
in a frigging cell, Ari! What did you do?”
“I
knew you wouldn’t understand. But there isn’t any other option. I
can’t let anything happen to Mom, Lily, or Cal because I refused to
turn myself in.”
“There
are always alternative options, Ari, always. And we hadn’t even
begun to flesh out your idea.”
I
snort, for the second time in as many minutes. I hear chuckling
behind me.
“Come on, Zane, I know my idea sucked.”
“It’s
not without its challenges, but it has some merit. I can’t believe
you’ve done this, Ari. What in the hell were you thinking?!”
“I
was thinking of saving the others!” Anger
lingers under the surface of my skin.
“I
know how difficult this has been for you. But handing yourself over
isn’t the solution. You should have come to me; we could have
discussed it.”
“You
would have talked me out of it.”
“Exactly!”
“It’s
done now. You’ll just have to deal with it, Zane.”
“I’m
not going to lose you again, Ari. I couldn’t bear it.”
His
words are sobering, and the anger quickly fades, replaced by the
usual pang of guilt. “I’m
sorry, Zane. But I can’t just sit around and do nothing while the
others are at risk. Because that’s supremely selfish, and I don’t
want to be that person.”
