Lucky Seven - Meme

I was tagged by the fabulous Tara Chevrestt to do this meme. Here are the rules:

1. Go to page 77 of your current ms
2. Go to line 7
3. Copy down the next 7 lines - sentences or paragraphs - and post them as they're written. No cheating.
4. Tag 7 other authors.

I had a few WIPs to choose from, none of which are near 77 pages yet so I went with page 7 and started at line 7. This is from an as-yet-untitled book. Untitled because I haven't decided what works best.
 
The transaction complete, he rounded the counter and handed her the bag. The store was nearly empty offering the opening he needed to broach the crazy idea in his head. If only he could find the right words. Violet turned to leave and Devlin saw his opportunity slipping away. He followed her to the door, opened it for her, and stepped into the waning afternoon light. 

She glanced down at the stains on his clothing and frowned. "Are you certain I can't pay for cleaning? I'm not sure those stains will come out." 

And I am tagging the following authors:

1. Karyn Gerrard
2. D.F. Krieger
3. London Saint James
4. Victoria Vane
5. Carrie Ann Ryan
6. N.M. Martinez
7. Emmie Harrison

No obligation to do it. I don't think you get seven years of bad luck or anything...

    1. I lucked out with the selection. One sentence less and it would have been awkward! Glad I've got you thinking!
