The company had come a long way in the past year, during which time her recovery plan had borne fruit.

The sweet, suffocating embrace of nostalgia didn't really hit Alex until he left the highway behind and eased onto the old dirt road. Nothing about Dallas, Texas, triggered any memories in him—his foster parents had rarely taken him or his current sibs to the big city, even though it was less than half-an-hour from their rural route—but this dirt road had ca...
*Monday* Jack knew when he went to bed eventually on Sunday that he was due back at the lab the following morning, but given how extraordinary his weekend had been, it still hit him like a hammer when he eventually opened his eyes. Nestled beside Angela, he took a moment to enjoy the warmth and closeness of her, and how far their relationship had come in a...

"OK Oliver. Are you sure? REALLY sure?" I looked at Gina. The question, THE question. But I was sure, after two years of vaguely thinking about it and then six months of researching and consulting, and seeing my doctor and then the therapist he referred me to and then two other therapists - I was sure.

He had already been accepted for a job at an oil company that bought oil from oil producing countries and distributed it to users throughout the UK and Europe. He had studied Chemistry at Queen Mary Univers...
