A Novel Excerpt A Day...

Let's try something fun... I'm going to post one excerpt from my novel every day, and see if I can keep it up. Hopefully, you'll find them interesting (and completely out of context!). Later, when the book is finally out, I might turn this into a contest. Stay tuned.

Today's passage:

It's time to tell the lawyer the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. She listens intently, her expression impossible to read. The rabbit slumps in the crook of her arm, relaxed and entranced. I lean over. She's so close I can almost touch her. But I know not to come any closer.
