January 2026 It’s Scotland and the weather is dreich and miserable which accounts for my less than sunny mood. I am a freelance writer and I have just returned from the East, not Edinburgh, but Egypt. My interest is archaeology, with a degree from Glasgow University.

Stephanie Wilson. Who was she really? I had thought a fabulously sexy, exotic dancer, but a landscape artist? A bloody good one too. Her painting captured a moment in time that we had never truly forgotten. Ok, I had a name, but she had carefully contacted me on a withheld number. Smart lady. I’m smart too.

That helped him understand why she felt the way she did, but he hadn’t behaved anything like her ex. He...

Beep… Beep… Beep… Beep… I felt different; light-headed. My eyelids are so heavy and my mouth feels dry. I am not able to move. There was a weariness within me, though my mind seemed still sharp. Beep… Beep… Beep… Beep… A vision appears, and it hovers above...

A heart thrice broken given another chance to unfurl it’s leaves as in early Spring, the blossoms do peek from the safety within to explore the world without hoping for the sun’s rays to bring forth new joy after winter’s frosts have receded

In my dreams. I am in your arms. Holding me. Quieting me. Saving me. Healing my broken heart. Teaching me. To love again. Your divine love. Humbles me. You are my Angel. Sent from above.
