Ch. 01 THE POWER SUIT The Tuesday night happy hour crowd at Prime buzzed all around me, beautiful people in their beautiful suits, marketing their beautiful lives to one another over bottles of expensive wine and tender cuts of beef. I had no stomach for any of it tonight, especially their small talk and cheery optimism. I was here for one reason—Pete the...
It took Connor a minute to realize the car wasn't moving. "Where do you live?" Mr. Meyer's voice startled him. Connor turned his head and met his teacher face-to-face. He stared at his blue eyes for a second, before quickly averting his gaze down to his own shoes. "Wisteria Lane," Connor managed to mutter. He looked at the floor of Mr. Meyer's car, and w...

I couldn't help the groan that escaped when I pulled into the parking lot. The convenience of having a gym in the neighborhood was a great one, but I hated to work out. When my old gym had burned down I had seriously debated on not finding a new one to join, but as much as I hate to work out, I like being in shape more. And I know that my fiancé likes it too...
My willingness to listen had, a handful of times, placed me into a peculiar conversation with individuals who, although hailing from vastly different walks of life, each described the same phenomenon.

***Everyone in this story is fiction and is at least 18 years old or older*** ***** As I closed the door to my classroom, my keys slipped out and fell to the floor. I bent over to pick them up.
