Favorite moments

It's weird to realize that I have specific favorite moments from my books. Every line is a part of me, so to choose a particular moment is much like picking a favorite child. (Or so they say, I can't exactly since I don't have kids, but it makes sense.) Maybe it's just my favorite part right now. But I do feel that it's one of my favorite 8 lines that I've written. It's short. It's banter. But it wasn't something that could happen earlier in the book or the series. No, relationships between characters take time to build. And my characters showed me that they had grown to that part of their relationship - unbeknownst to them and me. The funny part, to me, is that there is another character observing it all, just like I was. So, in this case, I was sitting there with him watching it all happen. These short few lines speak volumes to where they are and the potential there. It was great!
