Short Excerpt from Perfectly Imperfect by Jacquie Biggar
If Bloomin’ Right is going to have a second chance, it’s my job to get rid of the deadwood—case in point, Miss Sassy Pants.
“My boss,” she emphasizes, “Doesn’t know his di… plomacy from a hole in the wall.” She lifts a brow as if to say, ‘so there.’
“Are you always so forthright?” I glance at the blinking numbers over our heads, five… six… seven… and try to slow my racing pulse. You’d think at thirty-six years old, I would have overcome my irrational fear of closed spaces, but, not so much. If I wasn’t already running late, I could have taken the stairs. Instead, I’m counting on a pint-sized walking, talking danger zone to keep my mind off the fact we’re in what basically amounts to a steel coffin.
“It’s called honesty. You can’t fire a person for that, can you?” With the umbrella hooked over her arm, wavy curls teasing flushed cheeks, and the tray of drinks in hand, she looks like a younger, sexier version of Mary Poppins.
My lips pull down at the corners. Great, now I feel like I’m here to get rid of the nanny. “Regardless,” I intone, sounding way too much like my father for peace of mind. “You can’t go around—”
The elevator jerks to a halt, causing a gasp of dismay from my companion as the coffee sloshes out of the air holes in little mocha-tinted bubbles, and a gusty sigh from me that we’re about to be released from our prison. Except…
The doors don’t open.
I look at Miss Sassy and she looks at me, and as one we both look up in awed disbelief at the frozen number nine mocking our fears.
“Great. This is just great,” Miss Sassy says. She backs into the opposite corner of the elevator and clunks her head a couple of times against the wall. “Did I mention I hate Mondays?”
I ignore her and jab my finger on the alarm button, working to stem my panic.
In. Out. In. Out.
Breathe.
“You need to call for help,” Miss Helpful suggests, nodding toward the phone box on the wall.
Easy for her to say—literally. My throat is so tight I’m seeing black dots.

OMG. I’m claustrophobic, and I totally felt the panic rise in this excerpt. SO GOOD, Jacquie. Wishing you and the other authors all the best with this set.

That explains how you knew exactly how to express that feeling. (Sorry you know first-hand, though.)

Once, we were in a bike shop testing me out for a new motorcycle helmet (that’s right, I was a badass, lol) and I fell in love with this full-face one with a dragon on the side.
The moment I slid it over my head, I started to panic. I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t get my hands to work right to get it off. I flapped like a chicken in mortal danger! lol
Hubby had to come and remove it. I was so embarrassed, but he just looked at the salesman and told him we had to think about it, then he guided me outside to fresh, blessed air.
I love that guy 🙂
