  1. You know, he's kind of like a fly...who was enticed by the scent of a Venus flytrap and doesn't realize his legs are already stuck to the plant's mouth...
  2. "Bam and bam!" I heard my brother, Sage, say as he triumphantly discarded the last of his cards. "You can't just show up late and beat everyone," Siena huffed, frustration etched across her face as she started scooping up the scattered Phase 10 cards. I joined in, stacking them back into the tin. Siena had even helped little Ashley pick her sets, though the girl barely understood the rules. "I can't help it if I got lucky," Sage said. "The game is always more difficult when more than t
  3. I figured a conflicted Ash would fit. 😂
  4. I have zero control over what you hear as you read. Glad you're enjoying it so far, though!
  5. Glad you think so.
  6. So many Ds back to back!
  7. I know, right?
  8. "Our relationship can be anything you want, no strings attached if that's what you prefer," Cove said. His response reminded me exactly why I'd ended things with him in the first place. Cove always gave 150% in relationships, while I barely managed 25% these days. He'd always poured more into us, but it was never enough for me to give up my own vision for life just to fix things. A younger me would have jumped at Cove's offer. In our twenties, we painted the town red for four and a hal
  9. *dark chuckling* Oh? But I have.
  10. Chris! Yeah, this is one of my rare non-fantasy stories. It's a manifestation of my love of @Aditus and Prompt #84. 🤣

    Glad you're enjoying it so far.
  12. Yes. Exactly.
  13. LMAO!! Exactly. We'll find out more on what he means soon. I outlined this story REAL quick. Just for you. 😘
  14. I'm not sure if I should apologize or just warn you there are more chapters to come.

    Prologue

    Yes, the only downside of two Ashes.
  16. My parents looked far too pleased with themselves after hearing from Siena how Cove, Ashley, and I had been reintroduced upon arriving. What did they expect to happen? That Cove would ask me out again after thirteen years? What if he was still married? Before I could stop myself, I glanced at Cove's left hand. There was a faint mark where his wedding band must have been. Pssh! That didn't mean anything—married couples separated all the time. Even more common were divorced men looking to enj
  17. PT#84 (posted by aditus) In order to avoid the pesky marriage-soon-trigger, Ash doesn’t date, officially. Amid plotting the most outrageous excuses to tell his family, he is greeted with a splash of the past.
  18. a/n: This prompt spoke to me on a guttural level, so I dropped everything I was working on for a bit of a breather. PT#84 (posted by @aditus) In order to avoid the pesky marriage-soon-trigger, Ash doesn’t date, officially. Find the most outrageous excuses to tell the family or — just tell them a truth of your choice, preferably all nicely boxed up in a short story. — I was near the tail end of the Millennial generation, a steady thirty-eight years old.

    Yep. #84. Doing it.
  20. Yes, it's a shame Adain didn't quite grasp what he was trying to say. 😂
  21. Talon is too worried about getting the timing right and Adain's just in growing denial?
  22. I've yet to hear them be described like a box of puppies before. Love it. Totally telling Toma. 🤣
  23. Sunday was a failure when hunting down Adain's family in the South. Though they took the time to drive over to them after Talon returned from his job, the house was empty, and no cars were in the driveway. All too soon, Monday arrived, along with anxiety that Talon wouldn't wish on anyone. "Remember, don't greet them like you usually do. In fact, it would be better if you even acted nervous around them." "Believe me, that won't be a problem," Adain drawled. Nervous? He was going to sch
  24. To them, it’s end of the world…they’re young, they have part time jobs (at least Talon does), they go to college, and their cell phones were rendered useless…totally the apocalypse in their minds. 😂
  25. Adain and Talon spent the rest of the evening sorting out delicate issues. The biggest problem was attending classes. Through many difficulties and a slew of old family connections, Adain was re-enrolled temporarily as his non-existent sister, 'Niada'...at least, until they figured out a way to dispel the curse. When they finally were back at the apartment, Talon caught sight of Adain holding up his long ponytail in one hand and one of his salon scissors in the other. "Hey, don't do anything too
