William's lifestyle, the bonds he places on Aubrey give her a freedom she
desperately needs. Together, they heal old wounds and find their perfect love.

Excerpt
© Hold My Hand, Paloma Beck, 2013
Late for work, I took the corner to the coffee shop at a
quick pace, too focused on my phone call with my sister to notice the man
walking out of the coffee shop before I ran into him. The coffee he held in his
hand spilled down the front of his starched dress shirt but left me completely
untouched. I stuttered out an apology, blushing furiously, offering to get him
a new coffee, napkins, anything to make this dreadful scene end. You clumsy, stupid girl.
I knew him. He came into the coffee shop –where I made
his coffee- nearly every day. This moment though was the first time I’d
actually spoken to him beyond the serving basics, but it was so not the first
time I’d seen him. I’d noticed him coming in and out of the coffee shop where I
worked for months.
Sometimes he’d stay and read, always a classic novel that
I too had read in college. Mostly he just ordered his coffee –tall, decaf,
black– and be on his way. Even then, though, he watched me pour it, knowing I
too was watching him through my downcast eyes. I felt it even then that he was
all knowing though we’d never spoken. He’d only nodded his head at me as I
handed him his cup each day.
Today was different. His kind eyes held a hint of
irritation but also interest. We were going to talk about something other than
his coffee. I hoped my voice wouldn’t fail me.
TODAY’s QUESTION
Is there significance in Aubrey knowing how William took
his coffee?

I don't think it's strange. I think it is normal for wait service to remember returning customers' preferences.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good read, will have to check it out.
very true, @sunnygirl, and it helps that the man himself is attractive... perhaps tall and dark himself. thanks for stopping by! :)
DeleteI don't drink coffee, but I'm starting to think that this book could change my mind.
ReplyDeleteI think that "tall, decaf, black" is manly. If some guy came in and wanted a fru-fru coffee drink w/whipped cream and sprinkles, that wouldn't be much of a turn on. Sounds like this guy means business and isn't swayed by trends.
coffee is my addiction so it simply had to have a role in the book. I'm also a firm believer in the coffee fitting the drinker.
DeleteI am already a coffee addict. It is like blood in my veins...seriously....
ReplyDeleteOh wait the question....yes and no. Actually we make connections with customers but add the delightful handsome ones.... remembering becomes so much easier.
@Minelle - somedays, an IV of coffee might just make it easier! And I agree. It's the connection with the people, likening their order to their aura that helps with memory. Sex appeal helps too! ;)
DeleteCONGRATULATIONS to @sunnygirl! You won a free ebook of Hold My Hand. I sent you an email - enjoy!
