I am thrilled to have Cynthia Hand back at the blog today with a deleted scene!! Check out the rest of the tour
HERE for giveaways, reviews, and more behind the scenes to the
Unearthly series. Let's get to reading...
Note
from Cynthia:
Okay,
I know I promised a deleted scene with Christian and Clara on a bicycle, but I
have scoured my computer for two days now and CANNOT FIND IT—ACK! Here, instead, is another deleted / alternate
scene between Christian and Clara. This scene was cut but some of the dialogue
made it into a later scene in the book. I had to cut it off where it ends here because
back then Clara was having a different vision that is quite spoilery to the way
BOUNDLESS plays out now. I hope you like! (I’ll keep looking for the bike scene.
It was swoony.)
This is not a date.
Christian and I are simply sitting together on a blanket in Old Union
Courtyard, a few minutes after midnight on our first Saturday night at
Stanford, waiting for them to start playing The Hangover II on the giant
screen they’ve set up at the edge of the grass. This is not, I repeat, a date.
He asked me if I wanted to hang out tonight, and I said yes since the
alternative is the poetry slam that Angela’s going to with all the
artistic-type freshman.
Here’s
what I said when she tried to convince me to go with her:
There once was a girl named Clara
Whose poems were oh-so-unbeara (ble)
Her poems were so bad
They caused puking in scads.
Now her nickname is Clara the terrible.
