She drove off knowing he was watching and she worried for her. She thought over the last several days and knew she couldn't go back to being just friends. But he complicated her life in ways she didn't understand. She knew he wanted what she had, but she also knew it not to be. She hoped he would grow to understand that, but feared he would not. She stopped a few miles down the road and made a decision. "Now was not the t...

Now wasn't that something to behold? The quick witted, sharp tongued Ainsely and smooth talking, silver-tongued Javon found themselves standing on the walk outside Carolyn's house not knowing what to say.

Megan looked with her. The summer sun slipped behind the yew trees on the hill beside the big old house, but no one was there that Megan could see. She frowned. “What do you mean?” Flor...

Will cleared his throat. “Um, yeah. I’m Will,” he said. “I’m Michael, Felicia’s boyfriend. You know, it's funny. She talks about you all the time and we have never met.” “Yeah, that’s funny,” Will chuckled softly. “She told me how you kept...

They left his car and hiked up a steep, five kilometer trail to a vista overlooking the Celtic Sea. She struggled to keep up with him, as he took long easy strides. She stumbled, and he turned around. “You okay?
