Chapter 61 (12/3/16)

Hi all, I'm very sorry for the delay.  I've been having a bit of writer's block, along with being crazy busy with work.  I will try very hard to not let another month pass between posts, yikes!  Thank you all for your patience! ______________________________ Ryan and I wandered a little more, then on the way back we stopped at the grocery store to pick up some things so we could...

Chapter 60 (11/5/16)

Guys, I am so sorry.  I wish I could explain to you how much work has been sucking the life out of me lately. My little random trip did wonders but it didn't take long to get back into the crazy.  I miss interacting with you all in the comments, I miss posting regularly (and on time!) and I miss enjoying writing.  I'm going to go back to just posting whenever I can for awhile.  I'm...

Post up later this week

Hi all!  I took a spontaneous weekend trip this weekend and didn't write :)  I will have your post this week, but it will be later in the week.  I'm hoping for Wednesday but Thursday might be more likely....

Chapter 59 (10/24/16)

The next 10 days sucked.  Ryan and I were locked in a fierce phone tag battle, and each time I saw a missed call from him and tried to call him back, only to get his voicemail, I grew more and more frustrated.  Just a couple days before his return, he called while I was at work.  I answered as soon as I could, but had just missed it.  When I called him right back, it went immediately...

Chapter 58 (10/20/16)

“Well, well, it’s little Jenna,” Jacob said, flashing me a dazzling smile.  “Give me a hug.” I hugged him back as I struggled for something to say.  Jacob was a former friend of Kevin.  They actually weren’t friends anymore because of me; Jacob had always had a bit of a thing for me and Kevin got too irritated at his inability to not be overly friendly to me.  “Hi, Jacob,”...

This week's post

Hi all, I'm really sorry.  I WILL have a post up this week but it will probably be Wednesday or Thursday.  I know I left you on a cliff hanger and I am so sorry!  I'm at this weird place where it's hard to write during the week because work is kicking my ass, but it's also hard to write on the weekends because some fun things are happening in my personal life.  So I do beg your...

Chapter 57 (10/10/16)

“Come on,” Grace cajoled me over the phone.  “Girls night out.  Sounds like you could use a fun night out!  You could bring Erica and Kelly if you wanted!” Grace had called to invite me out that night with her, Rayne, Sam, and Emma, and I was trying to get out of it.  I was crabby because I hadn’t really heard from Ryan, minus our brief phone call the night he left and a couple random...

Well, crap.

Oh, you guys.  I'm so sorry!  I just completely spaced it.  Work has been really kicking my ass for the last several months. I think I'm going to go back to posting once a week for now.  Usually things slow down into the fall, and we're working on a plan to decrease my workload significantly, so I hope I can pick back up soon.  As always, I will post bonus posts when I can....

Chapter 56 (10/3/16)

I saw Ryan twice more before he left on his next trip.  I spent the night before his trip with him, and I pouted that morning about him leaving.  This trip was nearly two weeks.  “You’d better miss me,” I teased him.  “I will for sure,” he assured me.  “How could I not?  I mean, after last night…and this morning too...” he winked at me and smirked and I glared at him. ...

Chapter 55 (9/27/16)

When I woke up in the morning, Ryan was still fast asleep next to me.  It was chilly in his room, and I wasn’t quite ready to get out of bed.  I snuggled up to him, and he shifted in his sleep, wrapping his arm tighter around me.  I dozed off again, sleeping for another 30 minutes or so.  This time when I woke up, I was too hot.  I laid in bed for a few more minutes, but knew...
