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.

  2. 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?
