The inspiration for this story is the classic Bruce Hornsby song of the same name. I originally meant for this to be submitted under the Tapestry banner, but I think it stands more on its own, even though it features some characters from a story I submitted many years ago, History Lessons, plus a couple of other characters who have appeared in passing in som...
Copyright © 2015 Naoko Smith This is a re-edited version of Chapter 2. I cut half of Chapter 1 and turned it into a new Chapter 3, so I've been obliged to put it in at the end of this chapter.

The smells, the sights all telling me that I was home, yet in the back of my mind I knew none of this was mine anymore. That Nathan had died at the feet of his A...
Rori King's POV Arrowhead Pack House We'd evacuated half of the Pack to Oxbow Lake, but the Pack House was almost as full as it was during the pool party! I hadn't asked for help; it just showed up.

She was sore, satisfied, hung over and tired in some order she would figure out later.

I understand why people read the Loving Wives genre (betrayal and revenge are an emotional turn-on). But a lot of its stories border on the misogynistic (look it up cowboy). So, I thought I'd take a stab at writing a genuine, non-cynical "loving wife" tale - just as a change of pace. The Hemingway short story with the same title may have been the first (on...
