    When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. —Lao Tzu By the time I arrived at the coffeehouse at half past eight, it was packed. Finding Ben in the crowd wasn't easy, but I eventually spotted him standing third in line from the register, behind a slim, younger man with pretty features, who was currently placing his order with a barista. The guy was wearing a t-shirt so glaringly white, it had to be brand new. Not even bleach could bring that initial brightness back onc

    You try your hardest to raise your teenagers with patience, honesty and good manners, but they still end up being like you...—Unknown MY PHONE rang the moment Maplewood was less than three blocks behind me. The screen flashed Tara's cell number. She called twice, back-to-back. I let both calls go to voicemail. Catching me kissing Ben had probably flipped the switch on her ingrained nosiness, practically a birthright for most women. She probably wanted to know if anything else had happened b

    When you jump for joy, beware that no one moves the ground from beneath your feet. —Stanislaw Lec The screech of my cell phone yanked me from the front row seat of my newest nightly symphony of voices screaming in the dark. I couldn’t see who the voices belonged to in that chaotic world, but all the phantoms haunting me, had called out my name in a synchronized chorus of horror and pain supported by the sharp crack of gunshots, as well as the deep baritone booms as unseen parts of the

    The secret to getting away with lying, is believing with all your heart; that goes for lying to yourself even moreso than lying to another. —Elizabeth Bear SOMETIMES being guided by a strong moral compass was a pain in the ass. Had mine pointed more south, I wouldn't have found myself standing outside the community center where Ben's support meeting was being held, trying to work up the courage to go inside. I'd be at home, hiding behind my original plan of avoidance with my youngest n

    “Well, that escalated quickly,” is our family motto. WITHIN the span of less than two hours, I’d delivered a dozen donuts to the eager female masses, changed out of Ben’s booty shorts into a pair of my own jeans, and gotten slapped on the back of my head with affectionate irritation by Sofia when I’d hugged her. I’d also had to accept the fact that Emma now had a new man in her life to share both her rambling little girl stories, and her Beanie Babies with. The one she’d gifted to A.

    “Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall.” -Ray Bradbury I WASN’T sure what I was going to say to Ben when I was guided out of his guest room toward the kitchen by the enticing scent of freshly brewed coffee, but Ben spotted me first, making a whole speech on my part, unnecessary. His face immediately lit up with a welcoming smile. He straightened up from where he’d been leaning against the edge of the kitchen island, reading something on a tablet. He saluted m
