Here's a snippet from the Christmas scene from Balancing Act:)
. “And while
we're on the subject, what's this shit about you joining the Peace Corps?”
“It's a great
way to work with people and visit other cultures. You know I want to get my
master's degree, and if I join the Peace Corps, maybe I'll get an idea of what
it's like out in the field.” Gretchen bit her lip. Maybe I should have told him first, instead of blurting it out at the
dinner table.
“Well, now's
a fine time to tell me. What were you planning? Leaving me here alone for a few
years while you go to some foreign country?”
“There's
always a chance I won't get accepted.” Gretchen leaned her head against the
window. “Besides, I was just thinking about it.”
“Stop
thinking about it.” Joe lowered his voice. “It’s an asinine idea.”
“What about
my career?” Seriously? He did not just
shoot down my entire life’s ambition.
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas yesterday! I'm still fighting a cold, and still have no voice. I'm going to clean up my kitchen, then crawl back in bed with That Sequel for tomorrow's post.

Good hook! I'm wondering how he removes his foot from his mouth, or maybe only she can see his foot there at this point. Lovely idea, the peace corps.
Thanks Flossie:) My sister was in the Peace Corps, so found a way to work it in.
