Feet tucked in close, she sighed, picked up the newspaper and looked over the front page, settled on a story and started reading. From time to time she picked up her coffee, took a sip, a little grin crossing her face here, the shadow of a...
This is the next, and likely the final story in the Brandt Family Adventures. For those unfamiliar with the series, I STRONGLY suggest that you read, "His Daddy's Car", followed by 'Change', and 'Searching' before starting on this story. This story follows 'Searching', and like it, takes place a few years in the future. There are several inferences of sex...

They were too new to have been together for very long, but...

I feel that I have finally arrived at the right place with this chapter after ten very long months of discussion, reading, researching, and writing. This chapter begins with a minor character who I introduced at the very end of Chapter 03. I would like to thank my editor.
