  • Hidden Secrets

    “Where do you think he would have hidden it?”  Tyler lay on the hill next to me and whispered into my ear.  He knew I hated the way his whispers tickled my ear, but did it anyway.   “It’s a car.  It’s not like he can hide it somewhere in plain sight.  If it’s not in the…

  • From the Grave

    As soon as Nathan went indoors he was completely out of his natural habitat.  I always found it to be kind of funny, but also endearing he couldn’t find his way around a house.  Especially a kitchen.  The first time I went over, I wasn’t surprised to find his entire house was blue.  Blue dishes,…

  • Epic Countdown

    The final moments of my night culminated in the biggest letdown I had ever experienced.  Even I was shocked by the amount of grief I felt in the pit of my stomach from what I was hoping would have been an epic night.  I knew I had placed too much energy into how I thought…

  • Bonfire

    The warmth of the fire did not lessen the ice forming in the pit of my stomach.  I knew to get what I wanted, I would have to temporarily abandon the woods and the bonfires I dearly loved.  I knew following my dreams required me to be in the city for a few short months…

  • Love Shaped Mistake

    My love shaped mistake obsessed over wearing green.  A color I hated beginning on day 651.  Greg had been my first love and the one who successfully sabotaged everything I had worked for. Every single aspect of my life had slowly gone to pot before my eyes during Greg and I’s relationship.  At one time,…

  • The Blizzard

    The blizzard started out as something I was terrified about and turned into one of the more positive events in my life thus far.  Having just moved to Wyoming, I was still getting used to the lay of the land when the storm hit.  I had last minute decided to go to a ‘getting to…

  • Bad Intentions

    “She never had good intentions when she started dating Andrew.  I mean, do you remember how she was also talking about the online dating she was doing when Andrew was out of town for soccer?”  I leaned back on the park bench and tried to get comfortable on the rough cement. I never understood why…

  • Paris Vacation

    “It sounds incredible,” I said as I contemplated how hard I could bang my head against the wall and not get a bruise.  “It was the most amazing trip I had ever been on.  I so wish you had been there with us.”  Ellie prattled on about her most recent vacation to France while I…

  • Love Letters

    “Do you know what happened to the silver ornaments?  The balls we used to hang?  I can’t seem to find them anywhere,” I called down the hallway to my husband.  His muffled response was lost in the kitchen so I headed his way.  I repeated my question as I neared the kitchen, but Lee still…

  • Your Special Ways

    “I learned to love our special ways a long time ago.  I, at the beginning, was annoyed by your quirks, but now I wouldn’t know what to do without them.”  I sighed and wondered if I would ever really tell you how I felt.  Instead, I stared at you from across the room and wondered when you would realize I…
