We have a special post for you in honor of CRESCENDO releasing today on paperback! Our friends over at Fallen Archangel asked us to post a special deleted scene from CRESCENDO! Enjoy!
CRESCENDO Paperback Blog Tour - Day 2
In the original draft of CRESCENDO, Patch and Nora broke up early on...but it was Patch who called it quits. After Marcie was knifed (that's right!) at the Devil's Handbag by Nephilim, Patch made the tough decision to break up with Nora, hoping to keep her out of danger. From now on, he's strictly her guardian angel. But keeping his relationship with Nora purely professional may prove harder than even he can handle...
“I also came by to tell you I won't be coming around anymore.”
“Coming around?” I repeated.
His words moved through my brain in slow motion. What felt like a long, convoluted moment later, I gave a short laugh. “Okay, what's the punchline?”
He checked his watch. “I need to get going.”
“Are you breaking up with me?” I was still smiling, but it wavered. He was joking – he had to be joking. But a drop of fear slithered through me. What if he wasn't?
“I got a new phone. The number you have no longer works.”
I felt the last trace of smile vanish from my expression. “In other words, don't bother calling? Is that what you're saying? Isn't this kind of, oh I don't know, sudden?”
He looked up at me through lowered lashes, and there was nothing remotely close to humor in his eyes.
“Sorry, Patch, but I'm a little confused. I need a little more to go on.”
“I thought I made myself pretty clear.”
“You told me Marcie was knifed, and that we're over. Just like that. This makes no sense.”
A muscle in his jaw jumped, a telltale sign that he was withholding information. In my book, withholding information and lying were one and the same. I wasn't going to sit here and take this. “Last night we made a promise, and now you want to end things?” I said, my voice rising. “You gave up becoming human for me, and all I get are two months?”
“This is what you get. This is who I am.”
“Funny, I thought you were my guardian angel!”
“That's where I'm drawing the line.”
