77-7-7 Manuscript Peep Show!

I was delighted when Twitter comrade and fellow writer Nat Russo tagged me into Melanie Sokol's Manuscript Peep Show. 

To recap the rules:

1. Go to the 77th page of your work-in-progress
2. Count down 7 lines
3. Share the 7 lines that follow

Here's the 77-7-7 from my soon-to-be-published romantic suspense, All That Glitters:

His gaze drifted to her face.  Her eyes were closed, her breathing even. 

She’d fallen asleep.
