I’m having to play a little catch up at the moment.

There was a pen show… and then a migraine… so nothing got posted, even though I added rather a LOT to this one.

That’s why the Day 12 progress is posted on the 13th. Otherwise I get totally confuddled.

Story Snippet:

    "Sorry about that," she croaked, sniffling. She blew her nose, only too aware what she must look like to him.
    "Don’t apologize." He lifted her chin with his hand and met her tearful gaze. "Don’t ever apologize when someone hurts you."
    She couldn’t stop a new flood of tears.
    Vezien cursed and kissed her.
    Sabriel gasped against his mouth, too shocked to stop him. She blinked the tears away, staring at him in utter confusion. He kissed the tears off her cheeks, so gentle, it almost made her cry again. Her breath came in gasps, her stomach did flip-flops – and her nose was still running. She couldn’t get over the fact that he didn’t draw back, nor did he pressure her. Sabriel rested her hand against his heart, stunned to feel it racing. He drew back slightly and looked at her.
    "Don’t stop," she whispered.
