A215 Big Red Book Activity 1.2 (2)

This is the second of four freewrite activities for activity 1.2,  in the Big Red Book. Let me know what you think of it.

**It was no use pretending…I could try and hide it from the world how I felt about him, but I couldn’t run from myself. As hard as I tried to convince myself that all we had is simply friendship, a flicker of an ember shone from my heart. It wasn’t love. I was sure of that. At least I thought I was. But it was more than lust. I don’t believe in lust. It was more like the political connection between the United Kingdom and the United States of America. It was some sort of ‘special relationship’.
I’d become quite an expert in masking my true emotions. I’d truly grown in that field from having plenty of experience. It was important to keep one’s stance of elegance.
‘Let him come to you. That way you don’t make a fool of yourself’ is what Gran had said. Up until now she’d been right. But when it came to matters of my heart she was wrong. I’d missed my chance. His ember was sparkling for someone else now. I had to move on…whether I wanted to or not. Or did I?…**

Although this freewrite is short I feel that it could be developed and taken further. I’d like to use it for a section of the plot in my Romance Story I’m writing. To do that I will have to change the way it is written slightly and stop the character talking to tell the story.
