Note that the following events took place in 1981, long before there was any "Don't ask, don't tell" policy in place in the military. Being an active lesbian was risking your career, especially for an officer. Note, too, that the minimum drinking age in Georgia was lowered to 18 in 1972, just before the events depicted in the flashback scenes. *** I was d...
Beth looked up from where she sat on the side of the trail as another fat drop of rain hit her jacket. She could see the line of clouds that had been chasing her much closer through the quiet comfort of the spruces surrounding her.

Authors note: It probably goes without saying that, if you haven't, I recommend reading part one first. I struggle to believe it has been over a year since I posted part one of this story and I apologise for the delay! A new house and job hijacked the last 12 months. However, Jess and Harri have never been far from my mind and this part has been in a draft...

I thought to myself, how sweet, someone has left me a rose. I wondered who. It played on my mind for several days. Every male who spoke to me in a pleasant manner over the next f...
The mall food court is dead by nine. Everyone still at the mall is in a store shopping, or trying to look like they're shopping. The teenagers are biding their time until the security guard asks them to leave. I'm in the food court because I don't have anywhere to be, and I definitely don't have anything to buy.
