Love's Return He couldn't believe his eyes. He had been trying to get over Addison ever since she had given him back to Cheryl without any sense of sorrow other than a slight tear that he had seen roll down her cheek on that fateful day. He had grown used to not having her. He had accepted the fact that he would never be able to see her again. All of that...
Robert had been gone for months. He was placed in boot camp far away and the only contact Sydney had with him for the last few months was letters. She had been warned not to date someone from the military. She had been told that it was hard being so far from the one you love. But she still didn’t know whether or not she loved him. She only knew that she like...
**Author's note: This story was previously posted under the user name sweet_escape.** Molly's voice echoed in the candlelit bathroom, her off-key words bouncing from the tiled walls.

Katelyn tossed and turned from side to side in bed. It had been a long day at work - nearly double her expectations before her shift - but she was where she had longed to be all day, and now she couldn't sleep. Typical. Rolling over, Katelyn's mind wandered off onto the events of the evening, finishing work and seeing her boyfriend of over four years - oops,...
