His Inheritance ~ Chapter 30 Preview
Tumblr media
Coming soon...
“There she is,” you heard her whisper.
Your eyes were heavy when you slit them open. Your vision was blurry, and your mouth was dry. You tried to sit up and that’s when sharp pain reminded you of what happened.
“Stop,” Yelena said gently. “You’ll reopen your wound if you’re not careful.”
The concern in her hazel eyes reminded you of what happened. Hansen’s house. Neal. Dyson’s friends. Jensen. Dyson. Steve…
“Steve,” you asked, panicked. Your husband took a bullet for you.
Yelena lifted a glass of water from the bedside table. You were in the bedroom you shared with Steve. But you didn’t see anyone but Yelena there.
“He’s going to be okay,” she told you with a smile, holding the glass so you could take a sip.
“He was shot.” Your voice sounded groggy.
“So were you,” she pointed out.
It hurt like hell. You lifted a hand to your shoulder, feeling the dressing under the nightgown you wore.
“Fucking hurts,” you mumbled. “Hansen must be so happy... Bastard.”
That had Yelena smiling.
“Is Hansen… gone?” You were hopeful.
Yelena sighed. “No. When he shot you and Steve, it sent everyone into a panic. Hansen's men faced off against Clay and Jensen. But he got away.”
“Where’s Dyson?” you asked.
“Waiting for the doctor to finish with Steve,” she told you. “He’s fretting over both of you like a mother hen.”
You blew out an exhale. “Is Steve really going to be okay?”
Her smile faded. “I think so. There was no exit wound, so they have to extract the bullet, see what the damage is. You were very lucky. The bullet barely missed your lung. You’ll have a scar, but you will recover.”
“Will Steve recover?” Guilt clouded your mind, blocking out everything else. “It was my fault he got shot.”
What if Steve died? What if it impacted the rest of his life? Would he forgive you?
“Try not to worry,” she told you. “The doctor is very good. He took very good care of you.”
“Me?” Again, you tried to sit up, but Yelena urged you to be still. The stabbing pain in your shoulder was breathtaking. “Why did he take care of me first? He should have taken care of Steve first. He should have—”
“Steve wouldn’t have it,” Yelena explained. “He was only worried about you.”
And it was your fault you both got shot. Tears came on then.
“Were your friends okay?” you had to ask. “Jensen?”
“They are okay,” she assured you.
“What about Clint?” you asked. “Have we heard from him?”
“Clint’s okay,” a familiar voice said from the doorway of your bedroom. Clint looked beat up but he made it. “Nat! She’s awake.”
Nat scrambled into the bedroom, dashing to your bed. She might have hugged you if Yelena hadn’t caught her.
“She has to be careful with the stitches,” Yelena said gently.
Nat’s green eyes were glassy with tears. “I can’t believe you got shot.”
She hugged you so carefully.
“I can’t either,” you told her. “Where’s Scott?”
“Scott went to pick up Yelena’s things,” Clint said from where he stood at the foot of your bed. “He’s good.”
That meant Yelena was coming back. Good.
With Nat’s help, Yelena used pillows to prop you up in the bed. The movements hurt but you could handle it. Your gaze took in all their worried faces. All you could think about was Steve.
“Clint!” Someone, you thought it was Dyson, called from down the hall.
Clint hurried off and intuition had your stomach dropping.
“When will we know about Steve?” you asked, hoping maybe Nat knew something.
You saw your own worry reflected in her green eyes. She smiled but it didn’t reach those eyes.
“Don’t worry about that right now,” Nat said. “You need to rest.”
No, you needed to know how your husband was.

I wish Milo had a bigger screen time in Second Act because I love Jennifer Lopez and I've seen that movie about at least 10 times but it could have used more of that Milo ✨flavor✨☹️

How do you write the middle of a book? How do you end your book? How do you know what to write next? This week, our hosts —who all work as a writers and publishers (and are sometimes teachers and puppeteers and many other things)— talk through how they have written the middle of their books.
The middle is where most of the story takes place. How do you keep track of your characters and plot? How do you bring it toward an end, and stick the landing? Well, we’ve got some ideas. And some advice to help you write the middle of your novel. Or short story. Or play. Or really… anything.

VocaTober Day 24: Watashi Dono Watashi
I’ve noticed that Second Act kinda has a theme of things being cracked, in pieces, or shattering. Something I need to analyze later.

A year ago I opened a Tumblr account. My life this past year has made me smile, laugh, cry, hope, pivot, change and dream.
My long term marriage has come to an ending, a battle I fought in my mind, heart and soul. 2nd marriages don’t have the best odds to begin with. Couple that with situations out of people’s control—it can be even harder for things to not fall apart.
I’ve changed this year. I’m not anywhere near where I want to be, that will most likely be a journey the rest of my days.
I will figure all this out though. And, the possibilities are many. I’m just gonna allow time, patience and love heal the wounds I have—grow me—and sustain me. 🧡💜💗

📽️ Second Act (2018)
Honestly, I didn’t even remember watching this movie even after reading the IMDb page. It took me a long time to realize what movie this was. So, obviously, it didn’t leave a lasting impression. I remember that I thought it was corny, but other than that I really don’t remember much of it. I’d say it’s an average rom com, a light watch but not much substance.
Disclaimer: all of the following ratings (except the overall rating) are from the parents guide on IMDb since I don’t really remember much of this.
Sex/nudity: 3/10 (kissing, implied sex, shirtless men, sexual dialogue throughout)
Language: 4/10 (at least one f-word, many other curse words throughout the movie)
Violence: 0/10
Overall rating: 5/10

Second Act Problems
If you're having trouble in your first act you might have an issue with your protagonist. The second act focuses on your protagonist and their motivation. If you're having trouble moving forward with your story you might want to look over your protagonist and make sure they are properly motivated and well suited for the story you are trying to tell.
