Time in a marriage, just like any relationship I would suppose, creates change. Each partner in the marriage changes in greater and lesser extents in a whole variety of ways. One partner may gain weight, another may get on a health kick. Or a career may take off or you might have a baby, which changes everybody. Well, my husband and I have changed a lot in t...
Jack prologue I saw her the first time ten years ago. Ben called me to the front of the shop for a customer. She was there with a friend looking at jewelry. It was easily discernible that she was no older than nineteen. Definitely a freshman out for her first bout of rebellion. Everything about her screamed 'too sweet', but still something about her stuck...
Life is what you make it, make your luck, destiny is in your own hands. Prologue I might as well own up right at the front of our short-term hopefully intimate but rather one-sided relationship between you the reader and myself: I'm an arsehole, no, let's be brutally frank with you, I am one dumb stupid arsehole. And an unlucky one at that. I never knew h...

It would be my ticket into the world, and introduce me to all the amazing things out t...

SUNDAY, AUGUST 21: 0645 Dan wakes early to find Marie stretched out half on top of him with her leg over his. He thinks to himself she has placed herself in position to immediately take advantage of anything that might come up. He grins at the idea and in his mind's eye he sees the last time it came up to be framed by a pretty mouth. He sees her again as sh...
My parents are strict church-goers, and they named me Agnes, after one of the virginal saints. To say that I was given a severe sense of chastity would almost be an understatement. My clothes have always been conservative, and my attitudes have always been prudish. Even so, I have to admit that I once looked up the story of Saint Agnes and found its more lur...
Thank you all for the nice compliments I received on the first part of this story. Like its predecessor, this story, is totally fictional, like all the rest of the tales I've written. Some of the people I've mentioned are real as are some of the places. Other than that, the rest of the characters are fictional, as in "Not Real". I say this because it never f...
