#SPeekSunday
I'm sharing the first six paragraphs of Back Where You Belong. This story is my second entry into the Honky Tonk Hearts series, that requires one pivotal scene taking place in the Lonesome Steer Honky Tonk outside Amarillo, Texas, along the famed Route 66.
What the hell?
Tyler
Desmond whirled away from the shot he was about to make at the pool table to grasp
for whatever caused the sudden, stinging pain at the back of his neck. When his
fingers closed around a dart, he yanked
the offending object out, searching through the crowd in the Lonesome Steer Honky
Tonk for the bastard who dared throw one at him.
His
cousin Billy Wayne leaned in close as if to examine the dart’s point of entry.
“Damn, that’s gotta hurt.”
He
handed his cue stick to Billy Wayne and growled, “Not as much as one female’s
about to. You can be damn sure of that.”
Three
women, her friends no doubt, scurried back to their table, leaving her to face
him alone. He slowly sauntered toward her, gathering his words as he
approached. He’d cut many men to size with his acidic tongue. This woman would
be no different.

Good Morning, Vonnie! Happy Mother's Day!! I love the new look to your blog site (but, then again, I loved the look of the old site, too). Enjoy your day!

Thanks, Barbara. Lacy and Tyler have a unique story.
Nice to connect with you, too, Laurence. Come back and visit often.
Oh, Val, you are so right. He does have his hands full with her. It's a fun story, yet poignant in many places.
