This week my teaser lines come from Time Will Tell, by Donald Greig. Just started this one yesterday. Don't know exactly how things will develop, but in this passage we find the main character Andrew Eiger remembering the birth of his son John, and holding the baby for the first time:
He felt an emotion he'd never experienced before and for which he had no name: a thick bubble of anxious love that burst inside him. And then he'd dropped the baby. (p.9)Doesn't really sound like father and son are off to a great start, does it?

Oh dropping the baby is never good. Never.

Love it! How many dads have dropped their babies simple because they didn't know how to hold them?
