  • 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…

  • Lisa

    “I’ll be back shortly,” Mr. Jones said as he walked out the classroom door.  The entire class watched as our History teacher walked out of the classroom.  No reason, no explanation, just walked out into the hallway of our tiny high school.  Even with lockers lining the hallway, the walls were still paper thin.  “What is happening?” Lisa whispered loud…

  • Star-Crossed Lovers

    “I always dreamed of being a star-crossed lover,” Hannah said as she got into the bunk bed above mine.  “Star-crossed lovers never stay together.  Something always comes between star-crossed lovers.  Like Romeo and Juliet.”  I yawned as I turned onto my back.  Hannah was a huge fan of staying awake as long as she could for as many nights…

  • Suitably Warm

    “I don’t think I know what ‘suitably warm’ means.  Like it is kind of warm, but not lukewarm?  Not freezing cold?  I don’t get it,” I listened to Chris mumble about our breakfast as I tried to park the truck.  I had been listening to him mumble and grumble about food now for four days.  I had no…

  • Risk vs. Reward

    As I drove slowly down the street, I wondered if the risks were greater than the reward.  The problem was I just wasn’t sure which one I was more interested in – the risk or the reward.  The risk was the fact I was potentially doing something illegal, but I knew the reward would be Tanner.  Probably.  All I…
