Yes
“Good news” she said. My dad likes you.” “Really? He picked on me all through dinner?” “He wouldn’t do that if he didn’t like you.” “Oh, ok. I’m glad I met him. Now I can give you this.” I showed her the ring. She screamed “YES!” before I could ask. “So this is the guy”Continue reading “Yes”
The Ride
He stared absently out of the window from the backseat of the car as it crept through the city traffic.

And yes, I know how corny that sounds. I’ve come to a part that I thought would write itself, yet itContinue reading “My apologies!”
I was asked to write a passage…
…that employed emotion. I actually followed up on one of my Quickies, because it seemed germane. Take a read, tell me what you think. She knew it was coming.
