erika, a distraction? Something not too Hand of God coincidental stakes a claim on her attention?
Alternately, my favourite reason: pure hubris. After all, even the meekest have some, and it usually does show up at the worst possible time.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

She lusts in her heart a lot. Not that that is a problem for me whatsoever(see, dodging avatar questions already...this must be for real)

If it's Monday, it must be drabble time!
Challenge #49 (the photos from Look At Me) is now closed. But you can expect a return of that topic (with different photos), since everyone seemed to love it, and it resulted in such excellent drabbles.
Challenge #50 is in the spirit of "Show; Don't Tell": portray a person by describing the belongings in his/her wallet, desk drawers, kitchen cabinets, car trunk -- you name it. The person can be a fictional character of your OWN (please no Buffy, Klinger, Batman, etc.), or a real person. Up to you.

Deb, that is GORGEOUS!!! Didn't you say that Matty Groves was "spookier" than Weaver or Famous Flower? The cover definitely gives that feel.

MATTY GROVES
A Mystery
DEBORAH GRABIEN
Ringan Laine is hesitant to attend the Callowen House Arts festival. The house has a famous ghost, and after two close encounters with ghosts, Ringan and his lover Penny Wintercraft-Hawkes are not anxious to meet another. But they are relieved to find that this time no exorcism is required of them; Miles Leight-Arnold is quite proud of his family phantom.
What no one there knows is that there is another, fiercely evil ghost moving through the walls at Callowen House. Dormant for five centuries but awakened and seeking revenge for a lost lover, this ghost is driven to madness by the band’s flautist, Jane Castle, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the woman he loved.
Matty Groves adds the echoes of history, and the acts—and consequences—of days gone by to a very modern mystery.
