The Lucky 7 Meme

Happy Thursday! I was tagged by Donelle Lacy in the Lucky 7 Meme, and it's sounds like fun, so here goes. This particular Meme gives the world a peek into my most recently finished manuscript, DARK WATERS. I'm currently querying it, so cutting and pasting pieces into an online document of sorts has become rather routine for me these days. :)

Here Are The Rules:
1) Go to page 77 or your current MS
2) Go to line 7
3) Copy down the next 7 lines as they're written--no  cheating
4) Tag 7 other writers
5) Let them know

So I happily found page 77 of Dark Waters, and wished I had landed on a more action-packed scene. Although honestly, anywhere I land, I want to keep reading. I guess that's how a writer knows their book is ready to query. :) So here's page 77, lines 7-14 of Dark Waters:

   
     Most of her books were science related. A few were on human health, their skeletal and vascular systems, but far more had something or other to do with marine life. None looked to be about age-old water people healing.
     Pulling myself up, I peered around her room before deciding to check under her bed. Why she'd place the book under a bed, I had no idea, but it had to be here somewhere. My fingers trailed across the green satin sheets covering her mattress. When we have sheets on our bed, or in my and Cara's case comforters, it's not for warmth, but the feel of the fabric. Satin sheets were as close to sleeping in wet seaweed one could get without actually lining our beds with the stuff.
