Leah and I walked out of the pub toward the lot where our vehicles were parked. Open Poetry Night was over. Leah is an amazing poet, at least I think so. I'm not into the typical angry/hurt emo style, nor the Old English wanna be with it's flowery prose and words with pronunciations altered to rhyme.

Detective Bradley hadn't needed to check the wallet t...

Once they'd gotten inside, Sawyer had been given the task to put the twins back to bed. Sawyer didn't mind; he had great multitasking skills. He fed Savannah first and then rocked her in the swing as he fed...
Chapter 8 Motive It was after 2 p.m. when Carmen and Lauren got back to the conference room. They'd called Shane and told her they were leaving 14th Street, and did Shane want to join them for lunch someplace?
