About four months before I'd split up with my partner of six years, school teacher Nicky who had decided that after all of that time and our gorgeous son Michael we were whol...
All my stories are done on the spur of the moment. I get an idea and write until I think that I can go no further. I would love to receive any comments, good or bad.

This really is the last chapter of Sarah & Tom's exploration I was going to finish it at CH 06 so this is for Carrie Anne and the others who asked for another chapter. Enjoy! The week following the weekend when Sarah went to the exhibition and Mina spent the night with Tom, was fairly mundane as far as the couple were concerned. Work every day and ev...
