We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them. – Albert EinsteinMarti was not happy with the judge but understood why the decision was made. There was no record of previous violence. Hank was seen as an upstanding member of society. The chief, under intense pressure from the city council and mayor, suspended Hank pending investigation. The PR war that his family started fizzled out once the body cam was released. Henry Senior tried to file a defamation suit against Jolene. The judge asked if he was really that stupid before dismissing it without hearing any arguments. Marti walked down the hospital corridor to the room where Jolene was. She had gotten a message while she was in court that Jolene had woken up. This time she did not ask to be knocked back out. Between the pain her body must be experiencing and the heartache and betrayal, it was no wonder she kept going back to the blissful darkness. Knocking on the partially closed door, Marti waited for

Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t. – Rikki RogersNeo parked his bike and went inside the hospital. It didn’t take him long to make his way to the CCU ward. As he approached, he received a text from Reese telling him that Jolene had been moved to a regular room. He muttered under his breath as a second text popped up with the new room number. Quickly he headed for the stairs and called Shelby. “Hey, boss man, Reese just called and said that Jolene was moved. When I told him you were on your way there, he said he’d text you.”“He did. Did you-.”“Already sent updates. And the termites are gone, but so is your foundation.”“Son of a bitch.”“Four more weeks. You should be home just after the new year.”“Great.” He growled and she laughed. “Don’t you dare say it.”“I’ll just let-““Trust me,” he gave a small laugh, “Reese will say it.”“Crandall asked me to tell you that the other house is done.”“That’s good n

Do what you can with what you have where you are. – Theodore RooseveltJolene was doing better and would be moving to the rehab floor today. It would be a while before she could walk on her own. Colleen had already had a therapist in to evaluate her. Both ankles were looking better her knee was healing after surgery.Her wrist was still in a cast and arm in a sling. She would try to push through the pain but Bonnie, her therapist, stopped her.“Sweetie, if you push yourself too much, you’ll do more damage.” Bonnie told her gently. “Listen to me and your body.”“And don’t skip your meds.” Colleen advised. “It’s not just for pain but also for the inflammation.”“That’s true” Bonnie agreed.Jolene looked back and forth between the two women. Colleen was tall and slender with black hair. Her hair was cut perfectly to easily be put up out of her way. And to show off the bright blue under color. Today she wore blue slacks, a cream-colored cable knit sweater and hot pink tennis shoes. She s

Aging is an extraordinary process whereby you become the person you always should have been. – David Bowie“God, you are fucking drenched.” Reese could feel himself straining against the pajama pants he was wearing. As he took a deep breath, drawing in the sweet scent of her, he pushed the material down his legs. “Fuck, baby.”Now that they were both naked, he settled between her legs where he planned to stay for a while. The plan had been to build up her want and need until she was desperate for release. With just a little nipple play and some dirty talk, she was already squirming.With a hand on each leg, he spread her open wide. To say that he was surprised that she was waxed was an understatement. But all she had was a small well-trimmed heart just above her slit.“What did we do down here?” he asked kissing the heart.“I read that men like it like that.”“A bare pussy.” Reese slid his tongue along the outside of her lips and then back up the other side. “Say it.”“My bare pussy i

Don’t take revenge. Let karma do all the work. – Lisa MorfittSunday dinner was being held in the hospital cafeteria for the foreseeable future. An invitation had been extended to all of Reese’s sisters, but so far only Michelle had joined them. Today Bunny was craving pepperoni pizza with heavy sauce and extra cheese. This simplified everything since Helen and JD had moved just yesterday.They were sitting around waiting for the pizza delivery, when Jolene got Reese’s attention.“What do you need, Princess?” He asked as he sat in the chair with his arm around Helen. Reese wore a tight Dean’s List t-shirt that clung to his muscles. Jolene smiled at him as she adjusted her loose skirt covering her legs. “I was told to ask about Perkins Place.” She said hoarsely.Dean sat up and clapped her hands excitedly. “Oh! I love this story!”Reese shook his head as he grinned at his niece. “There’s no special effects in this movie.”“No, just sweet revenge.”Chuckling, he pressed a kiss to Helen
