I'm having a great birthday so far (even though I haven't slept yet) and I'm going to make a proper post about that later. But for now:
I was tagged by

Ze Challange Grande is to pull seven lines from the seventh page of your WIP. Then you're supposed to tag seven other writers.

She paces the small space between their beds, two steps away, two steps back, eyes flicking to him and away, her fingers coming up to her mouth like she wished she had a cigarette, but she'd stopped smoking those a year ago when John took her to task for getting out of breath on their morning runs.
Stomach a yawning pit of dread, Sam watches Deanna dip her fingertips into her mouth to bite on her fingernails, a rare sign of vulnerability. She yanks her fingers away, eyes suddenly firm and focused. "I didn't get it. Not at first," she says, and she makes one more four-step lap before sitting on the bed across from him him.
"I hate talking about this stuff," she grumbles, then sighs and looks up at the dark ceiling.
