Been writing in Seize again. Hopefully, I’ll start getting on a roll again. I love when I get on a writing binge.
The last he remembered before he drifted off himself was her staring off into the distance, arms around her knees as she rocked and keened gently in the night. He’d wanted to hold her, comfort her, but knew his touch would be no comfort at all.
Now, the sounds and bright colors of the market lifted his spirit higher than they’d been in days. David energetically squirmed, demanding to be let off the horse. Amara got down and obliged him. Turning to him, she said, “Thank you for your aid.”
“It is my honor, ma’am,” he said, bowing to her slightly. He felt bad that there was nothing he could do to heal her wounds.

Aw, his concern for her is so touching.
Marcia
This excerpt is very clear, and I really feel like I’m right there with them. I don’t know these characters but I’m really curious and a little worried about what’s going to happen next!

I like this story, I love all three characters and I feel so sad for him, that he can’t help her. Yet. I’m sure there will be Developments. Excellent excerpt!
Author Charmaine Gordon
Good emotional scene allowing the reader to feel for both of them.
Gemma Parkes
I enjoyed this snippet and the emotions running through it from both characters. You painted a believable scene full of depth.

Very emotive snippet, I’ll have to read back to previous posts.
