Go to Page 1 or Previous Installment “Whacha doin’?” M looked over at the little feet standing beside her head.  Bare toes hugged the lush grass beneath them. “Hi sweetie.  Come lie beside me.” “’Kay.” Alicia plopped herself down on the lawn beside M and struck a similar pose.  A softly rounded chin rested on [...]

Go to Page 1 or Previous Installment “Wow, that’s gorgeous.  Whose house is that?” Jonathan’s pulse leapt up and took off.  He hadn’t heard her return. Angry at himself—at the world—he snapped, “Nobody’s.”  He rolled the design up, snapped the elastic back, and shoved the lot back in the drawer. Taking a steadying breath, he [...]

We all checked out of our various hotel rooms and piled into the cars.  A bunch of us, loosely from the same dorm, had driven down from the U to watch the men’s basketball team in the finals.  We won, so that morning everyone was laughing and joking and in good spirits.  I was in [...]

Go to Page 1 or Previous Installment Her skin, and everything underneath it, tingled as the scowl morphed into a predatory gleam.  Her brain conjured a picture of a jungle cat stalking a fawn.  No, not a fawn, a doe.  He’d play with it a long time before devouring every tasty morsel. Man, she had [...]

Silver Lining

Julia Cartwright uncrossed her legs and set her teacup on the breakfast table. Life didn’t always turn out the way she wanted it to. Drawing her sheer housedress around her shoulders, she stood and strolled to the bay window that overlooked the train station and Greta’s bakery. The glow from the street’s light posts dimmed as [...]

Go to Page 1 or Previous Installment Chapter Six The next morning, M bounded out of bed with her resolve firmly in place.  No more sucking it up.  No more dealing with the lemons life had handed to her.  Her world centred on food, the creation of delectable dishes.  She had a gift in being [...]

Go to Page 1 or Previous Installment Flipping open her phone, she keyed in his speed dial number. “Hey, it’s me.  Do you have a minute?” “Just one.  What’s up?  Is everything okay?” “I think so.  I just wanted to run something by you.” “Shoot.” “Jonathan, the guy I’m living with…ah…I mean…” “M, I know [...]

“Tracy, this is absolutely beautiful,” Dawn said, caressing the large agate stone with her fingertip. The vintage sterling silver bangle surrounded her wrist with elegance and class. “You’re too good to me.” “I’m glad you like it. There were so many to choose from. They make them right there on the island.” Dawn stood and [...]

Go to Page 1 or Previous Installment M leaned back against the closed door and looked at her watch.  Only eight fifteen.  Far too early for bed. Making a snap decision, she ran upstairs to get her cell phone.  Back downstairs she stopped in the kitchen and snagged a can of pop out of the [...]

Go to Page 1 or Previous Installment Later that evening M tapped on the door to Jonathan’s office.  For the last forty minutes she’d sat in the kitchen trying to cloak herself with a blanket of calm. It proved to be a useless exercise. Bottom line?  She had to tell Jonathan what she’d learned today.  [...]
