The next two days passed quickly as we carried on working, playing, and eating food and each other. Despite combined efforts at both houses, my Culinary Incineration wedding vows remained uncompleted. The Dinner Party takes up to eight hours to film and goes late into the evening as she’d discovered but managed to truncate due to the early flight out. We told the producers that they could pick us up from my place as we ha...

Walking up the GX’s steps, I turned around and blew Sarah a kiss. I’ve seen this in happen in the movies and thought it was contrived. But this was from the deepest part of my soul, and I saw it had hit her soul like a freight train. I really had no choice leaving: two guys laid out with COVID and one with a broken leg meant that if I didn’t go, nobody would be available to do ground support on the deployed aircraft. If I...

Tina knew that she was benefiting from her relationship with Lucy ma'am, because she needed someone to control her life and give her the guidance that she so desperately required. Although loving, the relationship wasn't altogether normal. Tina was sixty-one-years-old whilst Lucy ma'am was eighteen-years-old, and whereas Tina was lacking in a sense of responsibility, Lucy ma'am was a police officer who guided Tina in keep...

It’s been a year since they met. A year that has changed everything. He is no longer the same man; she is no longer the same girl. This past year has changed everything. A year ago, if he would have entered this café, his back would be hunched, his eyes cast down and there would be no trace of the smile that is now playing on his lips. He might have been dressed the same, but he would have looked completely different. His...

She knew what she wanted.She remembered when the winter had transformed to spring.Her suitor had come in strong, unsure, yet inspired.She let him in cautiously, as she had been twice bitten, still recovering from the wounds.They shared the humor of two sensitive individuals who were pleasantly surprised that they had found each other. Then came the predictable shift, which started with a misunderstanding, then grew into a...

The morning was hot. Carol Wake had carried a load of luggage from her car. Now she was so ready for a refreshing shower. All of the furniture and carpets had been changed. Only the stair carpet remained, and Garson Wilde would complete the fitting that morning. Five months since the divorce and being a financial director, ex-husband Victor, was affluent enough to agree to Carol keeping the house, and she had been determi...

  She was the first one I noticed as I entered the cafe. Sitting in a booth by the window she looked up briefly from contemplating her coffee cup. A pale, pretty face, no make-up, vivid blue eyes, that I thought, in that brief moment, may have been crying. A full, but not oversize bosom, emphasised by the short-sleeved blue summer dress she was wearing. Taking a seat at a table in the next aisle, from where, through the w...

If your body is a vesselfrom which your spirit will live on,then I will love that vesseluntil its spirit's gone. I will worship it and treat itwith the deepest of respectnever taking it for grantedtaking care it's never wrecked. As its captain I won't ground iton a wild and rocky shoreor steer through stormy seaswhere it may fall apart and more. I won't maroon it on an Islandand leave it lost alonefor that would be a sinf...
