Emma was deep in studying when her phone dinged. She ignored it and kept focusing on the communications textbook in front of her. Finals were coming up this week and she had to be prepared or she'd lose her scholarship. Then her phone dinged again. And again. Annoyed, she rolled over and looked at her phone. She had three dating app notifications. This was w...
I have quite a bit of time on my hands. I have not held a job since I was fresh out of college. The man I married did so well in his career that I opted to stay home and raise our children.

A PLEASANT INTERLUDE In the last two stories the focus has been on Karen and her open marriage with Jonah. With this story I've abandoned the therapy session to bring Karen and her therapist together for a day just to see how things develop. There's more therapy to come as well as a resolution but I felt this story was necessary to give me a chance to step...
