Teaser Tuesday (20)

is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

Anyone can play along! Just do the following: 

Grab your current read

Open to a random page

Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page

BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

MY TEASER:

"We take to the woods and make a run for it," I say.

His face is impossible to read. Will he laugh at me, dismiss this as foolishness? I rise in agitation, preparing for an argument.

"You said yourself you thought that we could do it! That morning of the reaping. You said-"

He steps in and I feel myself lifted off the ground. The room spins, and I have to lock my arms around gale's neck to brace myself. He's laughing, too.
