Teaser Alert! :-p

So here's a small excerpt from what I've got so far.  I figured that I could everyone a sneak peek at some of the writing, just to keep your interest :-p  And I think I am going to try to write something completely unrelated to my story to try to get through this writer's block.  So it may be a bit before you get updated on the story, but I'll let post what I come up with in the mean time :-p  It could be interesting.  Anyway, enjoy the teaser!

People stared, quietly, at the woman sitting in silence in the corner.  Everyone they had ever known was there, people she loved and cared for.  Yet no one approached her.  They all let her sit, lost in her own quiet world.  Small pockets of conversation could be heard throughout the room, yet she seemed not to register any of it.  She hadn’t moved in well over an hour, not even to brush away the tears that tracked down her beautiful face.  Her mother and father sat on either side of her, fielding questions and conversation so she wouldn’t have to say anything, and for that, she was grateful. 

She didn’t have the energy to talk to those around her; friends, family, co-workers.  The one person she wanted to talk to was at the front of room, but she couldn’t bring herself to go over.  So she stayed with her parents, eyes blurry and unfocused as she tried remembered what it was like to be happy.  It seemed like a lifetime ago when she was happy.

Someone nudged her elbow, and when she looked up, she saw Lee’s brother, a kind smile on his face.  “Hey kid,” he said, the same sad look in eyes that everyone in the room shared.  “It’s almost time.  You ready?”

She finally looked around, saw the pitying looks on the eyes trained on her face, on the pain etched so clearly on her face.  With a trembling sigh, she pushed to her feet.  “No.”  Together with Rick and her parents, she walked to the front of the room, toward the man she loved.
