The Weekend Writing Warriors share 8 sentences over the weekend.
Here are mine (edited to fit) from Exhibition…
The autumn night was crisp but he’d been bracing since he heard her voice.
“I wanted to see you,” she whispered.
“No you didn’t. Wanting to see me is picking up the phone, and telling me you’re going to be in town.”
“Why do you make it so hard?” A tear rolled down her cheek.
She was so beautiful it glittered like a goddamn diamond in the moonlight. He curled his fist to stop from reaching out and touching her.

Like the dialogue and emotion.
“Why do you make it so hard?” Very realistic–I heard someone say this a couple of weeks ago when I overheard a conversation I wasn’t supposed to be listening to.
