Teaser Tuesday

Here's how to play.

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

Once Upon a Time by Elizabeth Beller. A biography of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. One thing I envy about her was her ability to raise just her right eyebrow. I can't do that. If I had that talent, I hope I could use it as expressively as she did.

... Once, while she was about to dig into a slice of pizza, Carolyn heard a colleague berating Narcisco Rodriguez, a new young designer for the woman's collection from behind one of the screens during a fitting. Carolyn stepped into the area of the scuffle. She looked at the pizza in her hand. She looked at the face of Narcisco's adversary. She looked back at the pizza. Then raising that eyebrow, looked back at the adversary. Did this person want to stop berating her dear friend or did she want this piece of piping hot, dripping cheese pizza on her face? The colleague fled the scene and thereafter treated Narcisco with due respect.
