Hi Sorry about the wait for this chapter. I have to say a big thanks to my friend/editor who I will always think of as TheKittiesMama. Thanks for encouraging me to post this story when I first showed it to you. Thanks to Cannd for pointing out the huge holes in this chapter.

*Sometimes 'little' white lies are the ones most worth keeping* (Later that same day) "Not my best decision," Carmen giggles on top of me. We were lying back in front of the fire. We are clean but freezing and I am trying to get the feeling back into my extremities that the icy cold shower had robbed me of. Carmen seems to be taking some pleasure in steali...
Gracie didn't notice John's withdrawal as they made their way to the top floor of the Hyatt Regency, where John's bank was wining and dining all their biggest clients and a few others they hoped to recruit very soon. Gracie was more occupied by the Dallas skyline, the room full of people that she had no interest in schmoozing and the soreness between her leg...
I am sorry for the time it has taken me to post this chapter but real life demands my time and attention. Thanks to the many well wishers who take the time to email. And thanks to my dear friend Tang for being there when I need time out. ****** Anger and hurt war for control as I storm from the quarters, slamming the screen door behind me. Their mingled...
Chapter Five -- You Can Bin Them or Keep Them Peter Duffy knocked gently on the door to Adele's office. It was nearly midnight and the law office was devoid of staff. Celia was at her monthly dinner date with her mother, a chore she hated but tolerated. It meant staying overnight or driving for three hours to get back home and as Celia required at least two...

We split up 12 years after taking our vows, but it was long enough for us to have had a child. Our daughter Sarah. It wasn't an ugly break up and we never fought over or through our daughter.

PART THREE ***** DEATH OF A CLUB MEMBER ***** I sat up quickly and tried to focus on the digital clock on the bedside table. It was 3:45 AM. I wondered who the hell was pounding on my door at that hour. "Just a minute," I yelled, causing my head to ache. When I got to the door I asked, "Who's there?" "It's Officer Martin and Officer Condon. You are...
This is the continuing story of Mitchell. To find out what got him to this point, please read the first chapter. I woke up early the next morning and started my usual routine. I can't imagine why, but I forgot that the girls were visiting, so I neglected to wear anything besides my boxer shorts up to breakfast. I grabbed a loaf of bread and started some toa...
This was my first Law Society dinner since I was hired by Beauchamp and Partners as an articled clerk and I was a little in awe of the people there. It was held in the ballroom of the most prestigious hotel in town. There was so much power concentrated in this room, so many men and women who, with a glance or a raised eyebrow could make or break a person's f...
Hi Lit readers Sorry its been so long since I posted. This is the last chapter on this story, I am now combining it with To Love a Stray. Mygypsy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The atmosphere in the cab of the truck is thick and tense. We have only been on the road for half an hour but even now the tightly leashed anger is almost palatable. Malcolm sits glaring out th...
