A second excerpt from Chapter 1 of A Remedy of Love for #FinishUrBookFall:

‘What say you to a race?’ 

‘I say that is a fine idea. We shall be warmed up in no time. How many laps do you propose?’

The playful nature of this response raised Pip’s spirits and woke in him an answering liveliness. ‘Six?’

Fair brows rose. ‘If you are certain. That is quite a distance.’

‘Oh, I am quite certain.’

Pip struggled to contain his glee as they took parallel starting positions. He knew what Lucky would be thinking, for it was far from the first time he had been underestimated as a competitor. But while Lucky undoubtedly had the greater strength, Pip had agility and speed. And never yet had he lost a race. They counted down in unison, pushed off against the silty bottom, and the world narrowed to a blur of frothing waters and glinting sun. When Pip glided to touch shore for the final time, he was mere seconds ahead - but ahead he was. Exhilarated, he hauled himself out of the water and collapsed face first onto the grassy bank.
