Re-reading the scene where your protagonist and suspected antagonist meet for the first time.

So, I'm promoting Atlas on Facebook today with excerpts from the novel. In selecting my excerpts I read this brief scene where the detective, Victoria Rhodes, goes to publicly confront her prime suspect, Phillip J. Doe, with an accusation of Murder and Conspiracy. I've always liked the setting and chemistry in this scene. I'm still very proud of it.

Let me know what you think, huh?

“If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go in business because we'd be cynical: "It's gonna go wrong." Or "She's going to hurt me." Or,"I've had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore . . ." Well, that's nonsense. You're going to miss life. You've got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down.”
Ray Bradbury

“Learning is an ornament in prosperity, a refuge in adversity, and a provision in old age.”
Aristotle

“Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it. ”
