Six Sentence Sunday #18

We're back with more from one of the scenes I wrote because I was in a dry spell for the novel itself. It's not intended to be included in the novel, at least not at this point. This excerpt is part of the scene here on my blog entitled Sandy and Neal before the wedding (Sandy's wedding to Sophie).

This scene started with Six Sentence Sunday #14. It takes place several years before Neal proposes to April.

In the scene, Sandy and Neal have traveled to Crescent City, California--Sandy's hometown. Sandy gets up early the morning of the ceremony and asks Neal to come with him to the beach so he can "settle his head." Neal brings his guitar, which he's planning to use at the ceremony (unbeknownst to Sandy). He's just started guitar lessons so he's not very good yet.

At this point, the two guys have been friends for 10 or 11 years. They're in a rock band together. They spend a short while at the beach then go to Frank's Diner, the local gathering spot. Donna's the waitress. The excerpt is in Neal's POV.

“Practice what?” Sandy asked on the way to the door.

“In general, you know how I am about practicing. And damn it, I wouldn’t have guessed this dinky town would be hiding so many mamacitas.”

Donna blew a kiss toward him from the table, where she clutched the napkin he’d written on to her heart.

Sandy said, “I’ll bet you wrote a song, but don’t worry, I’ll forget about it until the moment comes.”

“You’re gonna feel pretty stupid when nothing happens.”
