Chapter One My story begins with a long over due weekend getaway to Vermont.

Toni is a very successful stock broker and I have a time consuming government job. We decided th...
"What's the most exciting thing you've ever done?" Ah, the silence is broken. It was a quiet drive home after a stage play. A relaxing dinner with us softly touching each other's elbows and knees. Very pleasant. And now, a bolt from the blue. And probably an involved discussion about minutia. How I long for quiet. So rarely achieved. Children always aski...
I was helping them pack. As active as Lily and Molly were, they didn't know much about camping. Fortunately I do. I guess the real problem was how impractical they were. Lily lifted a pair of lacy, black cotton panties out of her dresser and moved towards her pack. "No," I said. "That's all wrong." "Aw," Molly said. I turned and looked at the other twi...

"So Rose, do you feel any better now that you know what is going on?" Balok asked her. They were walking in deadly silence. Rose was quiet with a pensive expression on her face which worried him.

I was so done with crying. I could live the rest of my life without a tear and be happy. And if I could get through the next few hours I could live the rest of my life even happier; happy with Christian and babies and prestige in a city far away from little Wood Creek. I pulled my black SLK 350 into the first available space at the neighborhood Super Wal-M...
She sat on the manicured lawn across from me. Only a red plaid blanket between us. Her name was Barb and she lived just down the street. We had met a few years back at a block party hosted by Barb and her then husband Jim. He left her just last year, no fault of mine, with one kid and a hefty mortgage. Luckily for her, she had a decent job as a book keeper f...
Thanks to my editor cannd, and as a warning there is a scene that is both violent and cruel, there to establish the mindset of a character, but if you wish skipping is an option Three months to the fullest moon summer 2019. *** The beta walked up to Leon.

The sound of children wrangling and their laughter filled the living room and escaped through the French window onto the porch of Aryaan's new terrace as he pulled up to the driveway from afar. He was finally home- his home; the place was his own, a dear prize to himself after years of back breaking hard work, relentless house hunting and it had all paid off...

I knew I probably looked ridiculo...
