Six Sentence Sunday - extract from The Dating Game

Yep. It's that time again. I am frantically writing chapter thirty of The Dating Game, which will hopefully be out end Sep/Oct, but here's something for you that happened a little earlier in the proceedings. Enjoy! Sooz


Sean had crashed into two stools,  knocking them over, then fell over another and landed in a heap on the floor.

Brilliant, thought Gill. That’s all I need. As she made her way back to assist him, a passing waiter helped Sean to his feet and asked if he was all right.

‘I’m perfectly fine – why wouldn’t I be?’

Could this date get any worse? Gill wondered.

    Wow! That sounds pretty bad, so now I'm wondering what happened before he ate the floor? Good tease!

    Is he clumsy or drunk? I find myself convinced this is a blind date. I'll have to read the book to find out, won't I?

    Can just imagine it - and I'm guessing the date IS going to get worse!
