W - Walking
(Leah)
Radleigh and I spent a lot of time walking around different
places in Cornwall. I took him to almost every cool tourist spot in the county,
until I thought he might get sick of it.
He didn’t. The great thing about walking was that there were
no other distractions. I mean, there was plenty to look at, and explore, but it
was just us. Nobody interfering, nothing we had to rush back to. We had time.
I learned some things about when we both lived in L.A, but
in Cornwall, while we walked I learned so much more. He told me about places he
used to go when he was a kid, and promised to show me them when we went back to
America. He told me about things he used to do with his dad, and stories of
times they went on the road together. I learned that Radleigh’s family was
important to him, much more than I realised, because he’d never talked about
them much before.
Mostly, I got to know the softer side of him. Of course, he’d
kill me for saying he even had a softer side, but it was showing through more
and more.

Today's teaser comes from the latest book in the Game On Series, Sidelined.
Blurb: At the age of
twenty-one, Bree Collinson has more than she ever dreamed of. A handsome
husband, a fancy house, and more shoes than Carrie Bradshaw and Imelda
Marcos combined. But having everything handed to her isn’t the way Bree
wants to live the rest of her life. When an idea to better herself pops
into her head, she doesn’t expect her husband to question her, and keep
her tied by her apron strings to the kitchen.
Isolated and unsure who to turn to, Bree finds herself falling back into a dangerous friendship, and developing feelings for the only person who really listens to her. Torn between her loyalty to her husband and her attraction to a man who has the perfect family she always wanted, she has some tough choices to make.
While Bree tries to figure out what she wants, a tragedy rocks the Westberg Warriors, triggering some dark memories, and pushing her to take a look at what’s really important.

Walking around Cornwall is a great way to spend your time :-)
ReplyDeleteWalking is one of the best activities to share, especially in surroundings of beauty. This can bring souls together even without words shared.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things in this world to do with my husband is take a walk down the beach with him. Now, we have three more hands to hold while we walk, but it's still my favorite thing to do with him with or without the kids.
ReplyDeleteInteresting for her to only just now be learning more about Radleigh's family!
ReplyDeleteNice scene.
Never say soft side to a guy. We'll only deny it.
ReplyDeleteI remember talking walks like this with my husband when we first got together. You do learn a lot about a person that way.
ReplyDeleteWalking is always so peaceful and relaxing, whether you're alone or with someone. I would love to walk around Cornwall and see the tourist spots. :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy walking. It's very relaxing...and walking with your guy, that's just wonderfully romantic.
ReplyDeleteI love the football references in your snippet...great!
