I haven’t written any today while enjoying Bunny’s company and having her all to myself for once.
However, she finally ducked out to do some shopping this evening and I’ve been pondering the ‘Miss Abigail Reno’ character of this story.
While Jake discovering the girl bathing might tantalize male readers with this accidental intimacy, I’ve been trying to get into ‘Miss Abby’s’ head about the incident when everyone comes face to face for the first time.
1. I figure she would have naturally been embarrassed – that’s a given.
2. She doesn’t know the Jake character yet and might try to downplay or mask her reaction.
3. She probably wouldn’t want her father or Mr. Owens to know what happened.
4. She might try to size up the Jake character quickly while.
What I’d like to try is having Jake’s internal dialogue and him attempting to surmise what some of Miss Abby’s stern looks might mean. I’d also like to have the dialogue between the four characters be calm and even keel on the surface while Jake and Abby’s portion is laced with flirting on his part and veiled warnings on her part.
