Welcome back! Six Sunday is in full swing after a short holiday break, and I’m glad. I’ve missed snooping in all the WIPs floating around the SSS site, so let’s get right to it. Here’s another Six from Evermine:
Shame churned my gut, but hope was my antacid. Maybe she and Clayton had fought. Maybe she had come home. Maybe she was waiting in her old room, upstairs, across from mine.
“Maddie?” I strained my ears, but heard wind and the promise of thunder.
For more Six Sunday fun, check out the official blog, right here.
Hailey writes about questionable applications of otherwise perfectly good magic, the transformative power of love, the family you choose for yourself, and blowing stuff up. Not necessarily all at once. That could get messy.
