I had been with Emilie for just over a year. It was an awful time for me. All she did was use me and bleed me dry. I would never get out of there at the rate I was going. I needed a miracle, and one night a miracle was just what I received.  …

    October 26, 2020
    I couldn't believe what was happening. I really did have to choose between the streets and staying with this woman I once had a crush on for reasons I could no longer fathom. Yes, she was still attractive for her age, but she sure seemed to have a lot of hate, anger, greed and ugliness…

  • The Ultimatum
    October 25, 2020
    I packed my stuff and we drove in silence to Emilie's home. I wasn't sure what to think at this point. I was in total limbo where my life was concerned with no clue as to where I was headed. I put forth a plan that I didn't know I could actually act on, but…

  • Desperate and Devastated
    October 23, 2020
    I was devastated. This was the second person in my life that was lost to such a horrible tragedy, even if I hadn't known Isabel nearly as long or loved her nearly as much as Dennis.   Naturally, Isabel's home had been left to her only child, a son. He and his wife and their…

    Emilie had reacted exactly as I expected her to react when Isabel showed up at her door with me in tow. I found my heart pounding in anticipation of seeing her again as we took the elevator to her fourth-floor apartment. The building was old and kind of ugly, though it looked sturdy and stable.&h...

    After the vacation in Turkey, things ran smoothly for Isabel and me. I dreaded fee onslaught of the cold weather but was otherwise happy with our routine. We were comfortable and got along well. She had a boyfriend that visited on weekends, but I didn't have any desire to meet people. Though some...

    I was so excited the day we flew down to Turkey. I just wasn't sure if I was more excited to experience yet another country I'd never been to or to meet Emilie. I'd say the latter was the most likely. I was curious yet nervous. Remember, we were no longer friends and from what…

    “Marguerite!” I heard someone call to me. “Marguerite!”   I turned and glanced behind me to find Isabel holding a sign with my name. I recognized her right away and was grateful that she hadn't left me hanging in an airport in a country I'd never been to before. I knew that had been a…

  • The Present
    October 22, 2020
    Dennis and I had been poor. As poor as the dirt on the ground. Yet we were rich in love with each other. We were married for fifteen years. I was thirty when we married, and he was a few years older.   Then one fateful spring day over a year ago everything changed. Like…
