Writing Mr. Right

Garrett released his hold on her and tugged at her hand, leading her away from the crook of an ancient church wall. She held his hand, bumping into him as they walked down the cobblestone streets, passing close enough to the busker for Georgia to drop a five pound note into his guitar case. They continued past the closed tourist shops, heading for the bridge and the walk back to Garrett’s apartment.
“I’m sorry I didnae go with ye to the tattoo. Feel like a twat now.”
Georgia turned to face him. “There’s always next year.”
He pulled her close, took her face in his hands and met her gaze with such intensity, she felt her bones quake. Yet she didn’t try to turn from him. She wanted to be seen. For the first time in her life, she wasn’t searching for cracks in the loving stare of another person.
He searched her face, as though committing every piece to memory. Then he smiled. “You’re mine, Victoria Mason.”
She smiled back, standing on her toes to kiss him before they turned toward the bridge.
“Pardon me, but did ye say Victoria Mason? Are ye Victoria Mason?”
Georgia turned to find a small brunette standing just behind them outside the bank. Georgia smiled. “He di – I am, yes.”
The younger woman furrowed her brow in embarrassment, but still rifled into her shoulder bag as she apologized. “I don’t mean to be a bother, but will ye sign my book?”
Georgia’s eyes went wide as she reached out to take the pen and paperback. It was only then that she realized the Edinburgh Book Festival was still in full swing. “Of course, of course.”
“Who do I sign it to?”
The woman smiled. “Frances, please.”
Garrett chuckled to himself, but Georgia just signed her name and handed the book back to the young woman.
Then they both turned for the west end of town, and headed home.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Michaela Wright is troubled by voices. That sounds creepy until you realize that A) they're all fictional, and B) many of them are sporting a Scottish Accent, so all in all, not too bad. Currently working on THE NAMESAKEN Series, Michaela lets her own romantic and mystic heart bleed into every story she tells. There is little she contemplates that doesn't veer towards fate - and making out, let's be honest.
Michaela is the type of person who names her cats Omen and Chapter, and watches more British Television than any self-respecting American ever should. When she isn't writing, she's performing aerial silks in her backyard or hula hooping, and on some occasions, sipping a Cider with friends until her own fake Scottish Accent comes out.
Michaela lives in Chelmsford, Massachusetts with her daughter.
