Oh my god, it’s Wednesday. How the heck did that happen? Thanks for the tag this morning, @bookishbroadwayandblind! I’m excited to find out so many people are working on COC; I haven’t yet started any writing for it myself, but I’m thiiiiiiinking about it. That counts!

Since Sunday, I’ve mostly worked on the next chapter of All Too Familiar, so that’s what this WIP share is from. I hit a not-huge snag in one of my other WIPs and although the fix isn’t going to be that difficult, I lazed up and worked on what was going more smoothly. I’ll be back on track soon, and hopefully starting those Countdown fics as well. ✨Optimism✨

Snow gives me an idiotic grin as I rejoin him near a pastry booth. “Never thought of you as being good with kids,” he says.

I push Swithin’s probing fingers away from my nostrils. “I’m a master,” I deadpan. “Here, let’s get a couple of these mini pies; it’ll keep him busy.” I look at Snow from the side of my eye. “And you.”

“Ha ha.” Nevertheless, Snow crowds up nearer the case, and I catch a sudden glimpse of our reflections in the glass: me with a wriggling baby yanking on my hair, and him hiking the nappy bag strap up on his shoulder. We look…oh. Biting my lip, I glance over at Snow. He’s all but salivating as he contemplates stuffing his face. His very handsome, freckled face.

I wish I could pluck my soft heart from my chest and lock it in a box buried deep under the earth.
