I am the richest man in the world. Really. Every business magazine says so. Most people recognize me on sight. You know the old saying, "Money is the root of all evil." How stupid. Everyone knows that money brings happiness. I knew it too, and I went through five divorces trying to prove it. I just didn't find the right one, that's all. Well, actually I di...
It was 4:35pm and my last meeting of the day was dragging on. I couldn't wait for it to end and was distracted with thoughts of reuniting with my boyfriend later that night. He had been on a business trip for over a week. It doesn't seem that long, but rarely was he gone for more than a couple nights and I could barely control my desire for him. My mind was...
"Hurry up," Chloe urged under her breath. She willed the dark mouth of the lazily spinning baggage carousel to begin spewing her flight's luggage. C'mon! Half an hour had already passed since she disembarked flight 243, non-stop service from Denver to Charleston. Plenty of time!

He had moved to Seattle from Cleveland for the job, but even after two years, he still hadn't gotten used to the near-constant rainfall. It beat brutal winters, he supposed, but not by a lot. It was Friday and he had forgotten his umbrella...

You know our history and that we've had both our good times as well as our bad times. The knock on the door makes your heart stop for a second, knowing that when you open it, I will be there.

I don't know why you're here. I don't know how you got here. To be honest, I really don't care. I didn't know you were coming, or even that you knew where I lived, but whatever. Right now, all I care about is that you're in my house. I'd only gotten home from work an hour ago. I had a really bad day, so to cheer myself up, I'd jumped into the shower. I'd bee...
