As I gazed out the window holding my mug of coffee, I admired the freshly fallen snow on the front yard and my car. My location was Montana and while I missed my family back home in Washington, snow was something beautiful to look at. After marrying my husband James, we moved to this snowy state to help him further his career as a construction worker and so far, the move wasn’t so bad. I kept in constant contact with friends back home and had made new ones. But now it was Christmas Eve and I had no friends around; or a husband. A week ago, James’ boss requested that he fly out to Florida to supervise a job site and being alone in

About five years later Trisha and Tracey had settled in quite nicely. They bought a little home and although there were plenty of job opportunities out there, they were still working for Clara. Their conversations had become deeper and their marriage had blossomed as well. Walking into their bedroom, Tracey learned that her wife hadn't moved from the computer since the morning. "Oh my gosh. You're still writing?"
Trisha jumped and smiled. "Sorry, I didn't hear you come in. And yes. I can't stop! This story is practically writing itself."
Tracey laughed and sat on the bed next to Trisha. "Maybe because you're writing about our relationship.

"I'm sorry girls but I still have to interview you."
Trisha and Tracey were visiting Beth at her daycare. And although they were all friends, it was standard procedure. Beth started with the routine questions. "Do either of you have childcare experience?"
Trisha became nervous at that point. She didn't really know any kids. But, Tracey spoke up first. "Well, not to brag, but back in Hawaii, I was the favorite babysitter in my neighborhood. I love kids and I understand their minds pretty well."
Beth smiled. "Awesome. I used to baby-sit a lot too. What about you Trisha?"
'Here it comes.' "W-well, I don't actually too many kids. I've babysa

The next few weeks proved to be a rut for Trisha. School, work, homework, fight with parents, then sleep. Although the money was much needed, she was craving for a day to just break out. She never expected her first love to be so complicated. On a brighter note, school was ending for the summer in a few days which was nice because the restaurant was really taking off. In the midst of her thoughts, she heard yelling and crashing coming from Demetri's room. Opening his door, she saw him slamming his punching bag. "Hey bro, what's wrong?"
Sighing, he wiped the sweat off his brow. "It's nothing. I asked a girl out and she said no."
There was so

The next morning, Trisha's hope of a peaceful Sunday were shattered. While eating her breakfast, her father spoke. "When you're done, get dressed. Clark's coming over."
"Who's that?"
"Your fiancé. I thought the two of you should meet."
Trisha stopped mid bite of her toast. She knew about the supposed marriage coming up, she just couldn't believe how cold her father was. Walking away, she replied "I'll talk to him but I promise I'm not marrying him."
Upon entering her room, she saw a new, red sundress laying on her bed. 'Joy I have to impress him' she thought. Once she was ready, she left her room to see Clark. He looked about

The next day, Tracey was arriving at the library. Although she hadn't seen Trisha that day, she was happy about her recent employment. Their school had an annoying pep assembly that day so Tracey was forced to sit with her class rather than her girlfriend. Upon entering the library, she marveled at the beauty. The walls were a clean, eye pleasing shade of cream and the floor was a foggy indigo carpet. Her job was to sort through the books and direct customers to their desired section. As the day progressed, Tracey could feel her tension disappearing. The boss liked her and being near so many books was almost heaven. But what happened after he

The next day, Tracey was preparing herself to speak with her parents about working. Since they were home early, she didn't have to wait long. She let them settle in then approached them. "Mom, Dad, can I talk to you?"
"What is it?"
"Well, I want a part time job. I know I don't need to help out around here, but if I'm making my own money, I won't be asking you two anymore."
"That's a nice idea but we don't have time to be your personal chuffer."
"I already thought that. I could get a job at the library near the school then catch a ride with one you after your shift."
"Yes, I suppose that would work. But be honest Tracey. Do you want
