From Both Ends of the Whip<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBridget. Wake up. Hey, love. Wake up.\u201d She patted her shoulder.<\/span>
\nBridget started awake. Her breathing was rapid. \u201cWhat?\u201d She grabbed Octavia\u2019s hand with both of hers.<\/span>
\nOctavia squeezed her shoulder. \u201cYou were dreaming. It didn\u2019t sound good. I woke you.\u201d<\/span>
\nBridget snuggled closer. \u201cI was. It was awful.\u201d<\/span>
\nOctavia shifted her arm and held her tight. \u201cYou want to talk about it?\u201d<\/span>
\n\u201cNo.\u201d The sharp tone in Bridget\u2019s voice pricked at Octavia. \u201cI don\u2019t.\u201d<\/span>
\n\u201cI wasn\u2019t trying to piss you off. Talking about it might make it better.\u201d<\/span>
\n\u201cIf it bothers you, I can sleep in the other room.\u201d Bridget sat up, pushing away from Octavia.<\/span>
\n\u201cFor fuck\u2019s sake.\u201d Octavia bolted upright and turned on the light. She squinted agains<\/span>t the flare of brightness. \u201cWhat the hell, Bridget? I wasn\u2019t trying to start a fight. I thought it was the right thing to do to wake you up.\u201d<\/span>
\n\u201cI don\u2019t want to talk. It doesn\u2019t help.\u201d Her voice was flat. She lay down, turning away from Octavia. \u201cSorry I woke you.\u201d<\/span>
\nWhat the hell? Why won\u2019t she talk to me?<\/em> Octavia stared at the tight set of Bridget\u2019s shoulders. What to say? Say nothing. Let it go. She\u2019ll talk to me when she wants to. Or she won\u2019t<\/em>. Octavia stifled a sigh and turned off the light. She flipped her pillow over and lay down before rolling on to her side to face away from Bridget and the distance between them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rainbow Snippets( https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/RainbowSnippets\/<\/a>)is a group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week to share six sentences from a work of fiction\u2013a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation (no spoilers please!).<\/p>\n

In this groupyou\u2019ll find anything from romance and historical fiction to mystery and YA. The common thread is that every story\u2019s main character identifies as LGBTQ+. The snippets could range from zero flames to full-on sexytimes, anything goes content-wise. The only rule is snippets will be 6 sentences long\u2013one for each color in the Pride flag.<\/p>\n
