I had a lot of fun writing conversations between my FMC, Aubrey, her adult daughter Zoe and Zoe's girlfriend Brittney.
The girls live in BC and Aubrey lives in Ontario, so there are a couple facetime conversations in the book and the girls love to give Aubrey a hard time.
~~
“So, do you have a
picture of him?” Brittney appeared over her daughter’s shoulder.
“No, I don’t. I’m
showing my age I guess because we haven’t taken any selfies.”
Both women laughed and
Zoe rolled her eyes. “Come on mom. This isn’t hard. What’s his full name and
we’ll find him somewhere.”
“John Mahone, he’s a
cameraman for MinouNews.”
Aubrey watched as
Brittney typed away on her phone next to Zoe. “Got him!” she crooned a moment
later.
“Seriously?” She was
amazed. “Have your considered becoming a detective when you grow up?”
Brittney laughed, “No
thank you. Talking to people all the time? Yuck, I like my job at the morgue
thank you very much. The love of my life here chatters enough for the both of
us.”
Zoe grinned and gave
Brittney a kiss against her temple. “That’s why we’re so good together. You
don’t want to talk much and I like to talk for the both of us.”
Aubrey sipped at her
tea and smiled at her girls. Brittney was right, they were perfect for each
other. A true opposite attract situation they’d made work.
“Wow, he’s really good
looking in a daddy kind of way.” Brittney commented.
“Don’t say that about
my future step-father.” Zoe made a face and then tugged at Brittney’s arm so
she could see the picture. “Holy shit. Okay mom, promise me you never call him
Daddy. We want to.”
Aubrey laughed and
tiled her face back, “I promise to never do that. It’s not that kind of vibe.”
“Oh, he calls you
Mommy.” She teased, “okay that’s cool. No judgement from us.”
Brittney nodded in
agreement with Zoe.
“Shut it!” Aubrey
rubbed at her face trying to hide the blush from her cheeks. “It’s not that
kind of vibe either. He’s a really nice guy and I like him.”
Zoe’s grin faded
slightly, “Jokes aside mom. I’m glad. I really want you to find someone and if
this guy works for you then don’t wait around forever. Have some fun in your
life. You deserve it.”
