This is 8 sentences from the WIP prequel to ‘The Vista’. It’s leaning much more towards the romance than the action adventure, even if these 8 don’t show it.

I’m hoping this prequel gives a little insight to why the main characters are they way they are.

“Sir, I’m fine . . . “ Shannon began.

You’re not cleared to leave the city, Officer Allen. Tonight, a whole class of rookies are going to make sure no one sneaks into The Vista. In this case, it is absolutely not better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission – do you understand me?”

Well okay- yes sir! He sounds very serious. And you’re right- not very romantic at the moment. 🙂
