This is the opening scene deleted from
Forever Love just before the final edit. It was the first thing I wrote for the book and remained relatively intact throughout the writing process. I finally chose to remove it because I felt it slowed down the beginning. My biggest problem with it, quite frankly, was the first paragraph. No matter how many times I reworked it, I just couldn’t get it to flow in a way that pleased me.
In may ways, I wish the scene could have stayed because it’s a good introduction to Keegan. However, I still consider beginning with Cass the best hook for the book and got the story moving. Sometimes in writing, no matter how much you like something, it has to go for the sake of the story.
