"Her heart pounded and her breath came in short,
irregular gasps as she arrived at the hotel. An ambulance waited outside with
its blue lights flashing. Grabbing the hand rail Ben hauled himself up the
steps two at a time and sprinted inside."
"Once
they were out on the quiet moorland road, he eventually spoke. His voice was almost
a whisper. "I lied to you. I did try to ring you but I didn't want
Savannah to know." "
" "There’s
an old inn, not far from here. Why don't we get some lunch?"
Within
a few minutes Ben turned into the car park of an old thirteenth century inn. It
perched on top of the moor with sweeping views around it. Carly caught sight of
a reservoir, as the weak winter sun gave a slight glitter on water, at the
bottom of the valley.
She
smiled in appreciation. “This looks lovely. I bet the views are stunning in
summer.” "
"
As
they entered the inn, she was charmed by the mullion windows, which faced the
valley, giving diners a superb outlook. The walls were covered in horse brasses
and old sepia photos of the inn in the past couple of centuries."
You will have to draw me a map! I want to go there. Lovely pics.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the teaser, can't wait to read it.
We'll just have to organise ourselves and take a ride out. It's about half an hour from where I live.
ReplyDeleteReally? Then let's put it in the diary. I could do with an uplifting tour of Resolution's setting.
