Carol had never considered hers...

"I thought that we said that it was going to be just me and you? I thought you loved me." "Donna, I love you. I'm just not ready to be monogamous and I don't think you should be either. We're young,...
I had been out in California attending a business related class for a week, when I returned home to quite a surprise. The class was scheduled to end on Friday afternoon, but due to the limited number of scheduled flights back to Atlanta, I would be forced to take the “red eye”, which would arrive about 5:45am.
