Writing of Late

Hello everyone! I've been working a lot on my writing lately and was very excited to finish a novella this month. It's the fifth book in my "Ordinary Girl" series. I haven't mentioned this series in a while, mainly because it's been about three years since I finished book four.
This book meant a lot to me, so it was amazing to have it finished. This book is really a bridge in the series where my main character really starts to turn from a kid to an adult, and it is the first of the series to not include a case at the crime-fighting organization my characters work for. It's more laid back and I got to really focus on my characters, so it was a lot of fun to write.
I thought I'd share a little snapshot from the book, in one of my favorite scenes.


I could see David nodding in my peripheral vision as he stared out the window at the people passing by. I pulled a piece of my cinnamon roll-off, enjoying the feel of the soft bread between my fingers. I plopped it into my mouth, savoring the melting sweetness. 
“Are you okay, Mandy?” He asked, his voice gentle. 
I glanced over at him, my eyebrows arched.
“Well?” David prompted me to answer in a soft tone.
Something in me sank as I took in a deep breath, “I just don’t know anymore.” 
David took a long drink of his coffee, seeming to turn my words over in his head as he did, “That’s okay.” 
Surprised raised in me. That wasn’t the reaction I had expected. 
He looked over at me with a small smile, “It’s okay to not be okay.” 
“Thanks.” I didn’t know what else to say, but something inside seemed to ease.
“And I know we haven’t known each other very long,” He wrapped his hands around his mug “But I’ll be here until you are okay again.” 
He leaned towards me and in a stage whisper said; “I’ll even stick around afterward.” 
I chuckled, smiling at him as he leaned back into his chair.
“For the record,” I said, “That means a lot to me.” 

How are your projects going?
