Welcome to the LAST “Six Sentence Sunday”. Thank you to everyone who has ever visited me as part of that weekly Sunday routine. I’ve loved all your comments and in turn all the fantabulous sixes I’ve read on others’ blogs. I’m sure there will be a replacement equally worthy eventually, but today we’re bidding adieu to the grand-daddy of them all.
This six comes from my still in process (sigh…I know, I know) NaNoWriMo cruise ship romance, title to be determined.
The hero and heroine have just concluded a rather trying dinner with some fellow passengers while on a cruise ship as secret shoppers. They have finally escaped and are taking in the air on the promenade.

“Well, that was fun,” she remarked at last, breaking the silence.
Paul chuckled, a warm rumble that emanated deep in his chest. She drank in his dark form at the rail. He was tall and powerfully built, like a rogue pirate at the helm of his ship. All he needed was an eye patch, and maybe also to shed the jacket and open a few top buttons of his shirt. A puffy shirt would be better still, but she doubted the gift shop sold any of those.
Ok, ok, guilty as charged for the Seinfeld allusion. I couldn’t resist.
Be sure to check out the host site, Six Sentence Sunday, for links to more tantalizing snippets from some very talented writers.
I hope you’ll visit me again in the near future, SSS or not. Cheers! 🙂

Yes! The puffy shirt! LOL That’s one of my favorite Seinfeld episodes.
Paul sounds like a hottie and I’m looking forward to reading this yet to be titled story.
I’ve enjoyed reading and sharing six sunday snippets with you, sweets. It was a good run. ❤

Hi Claire. I like your six today and look forward to more of the story. I’m sure we’ll run into each other again on twitter, fb or on another blog hop. Best to you in 2013!
Love how she’s fantasizing about him in a puffy shirt, LOL!
LOL! Love the subtle humor as well as the Seinfeld reference!
I could just imagine his reaction to such a gift. How funny! Nicely penned.
Love this description of him and how she’s imagining him as a pirate!
Hope to see you at the Weekend Writing Warriors http://www.wewriwa.com/
I loved the remarks about redressing him as a pirate. I wonder what he’d think of her thoughts – and if he’d do them for her if he knew. Great six and I’ll definitely see you around. 🙂

Wonderful six! Now that she has him out there, what’s she going to do with her pirate? 🙂
A rouge pirate? I thought all pirates were rogues.
I like this girl, I want to hang out with her, and from the sounds of him, I’d like to hang out with him too 🙂 Looking forward to your next share, from wherever, just do it, okay 🙂
Very teasy, I liked it.
