Sunday seems to come around so much faster since I began participating in Six Sentence Sunday. This is a feature where writers choose only six sentences from one of their stories to post on their blogs. I've been posting short excerpts from my latest contemporary romance, Shopping for Love. Last week I showed Greg's dilemma when he had uncovered corruption at his place of work, so this week I thought I would show Emma's predicament at the primary school where she teaches.Here she is being questioned by her headteacher, Vanessa, and forced to decide between her career and her blossoming relationship with Greg after complaints by Greg's former wife.
Emma was too surprised to answer
and merely stared at her superior.
“Mrs Harper feels that because of your position as Sophie’s
teacher, there could be a conflict of interests involved if this were
true. She considers it a breach of
professionalism. Of course I assured her
that your conduct had always been beyond reproach and I was sure there would be
some innocent explanation. I seriously
doubt she’ll take the matter any further, but I felt I should make you aware of
her feelings. I know I can depend on you
to conduct yourself in the correct way, Emma.”
