First of all, I love you.And,I miss you.I’m down here in the den just now because I want to tell you about the idea you had. The one you put in my head when we spoke on the phone last night. Because last night I spent the better part of four hours, longer...
I crept carefully back up the stairs, my face flushed, feeling very confused about what I had just seen. I wasn't a very worldly young woman. I possessed only vague ideas about went on between a man and a woman other than intercourse. The scene I just wit...
I took the leftover cheese, crackers, and wine back to the kitchen. There wasn’t much wine left, so I poured the remainder into my glass, then put the bottle in with the recyclables. I hummed a folk tune while I put the cheese in a baggie into the fridge...
Once Steve left the kitchen to start his second load of laundry, I finished opening the wine bottle and poured out a glass for each of us. Torpe that I am, I was afraid that I would spill something if I tried to take everything into the living room altoge...
I leaned on the sofa arm, stretched across Steve, and picked up the remote. I twisted around and turned the TV on. "Here you go, Steve." I handed him the remote. "While I get changed, you can find something to watch, if you want."Finding the right dress...

"You know, Anna, you're very trusting to have me up in your apartment the second time we met.""I'm too trusting, am I?" I leaned toward him to pour his coffee. "Let's think about that. What do I know about you? You dress well. You are clean-shaven. You're...
After adding the lunch dishes to what was already in the dishwasher, I started it, and dressed for Mass. I wasn’t sure that Steve would be at St. Michael’s on Sunday, but since he had been at a bar with his buds, I guessed that he wouldn’t be attending on...
I felt tense and needed release. I felt dirty and sweaty after spending all morning running errands and cleaning the apartment. Three-day weekends should be the norm, not the exception. It had been another long work week, and then Steve got me all excited...
ᴉMierda! I thought. “Thank you,” I said. I didn’t have an extra $150 to get my clothes dryer fixed, so I paid the serviceman and walked him to the door.At least my washer still worked. I had Thursday morning off so after I showered, I pulled my hair back,...
