The best part of #WIPSnips is realizing you've used the word 'shirt' four times in two sentences... after five rounds of editing. At least it's fixed now. #writingcommunity #writesky

For the first few hours, everything went so smoothly, Will had to concentrate on ignoring the nagging sting of nervous anticipation threatening to derail her purpose. With every step, as her adrenaline faded and the dull ache in her stomach gave way to insistent stabbing, she kept the image of Eli emblazoned in her mind. Her arms burned. Ashley’s pendant chain dug into her neck, rolling through the sweat dripping from her scalp and rubbing the skin raw. She had to resist the urge to tear it off. Everything narrowed to the color of Gramps’ eyes and the thud of her footsteps into the dirt.

She couldn’t afford to worry about Abraham. But she knew the attack was coming.

Beneath her shirt, the pendant flared against her chest. She shrieked and yanked it over her head, tossing it into the dirt. Unbuttoning it far enough to watch an oval blister bloom just above her breasts, she turned a bemused expression to Ashley. “It bit me.” She spread her collar as evidence. “I think it was helping?”

Ashley’s face paled, and he almost dropped the palmful of salt in his hand to reach for her. Only a warning shake of Jacob’s head stopped him, though Will saw the muscles in his jaw flexing. A strange satisfaction, warm and honey-sweet, spread in Will’s stomach at the sight, sliding like steel into her spine.

She clamped down on it before she giggled like an idiot. There was no trusting her emotions at a time like this. Adrenaline was a vicious liar, and she was far too credulous for her own good. Right now, she had to concentrate on getting the job done. Then she could figure out what was going on in her head.

That's happened *so many times* posting here. It's the same thing for when you finally post something you've written and when you skim over it you immediately find something wrong 😭 But it's the helpful part of doing snips at least!
