She closed the book, then opened her purse, removing a silver business card case and a fancy pen. Taking a card out, she flipped it over, and wrote something on the back.She stood and handed it to him.In exquisite penmanship it said:Jessica 407-555-6232Reggie -- 407-555-1812"Call Jessica on Monday, she's a therapist, she can help you.""I...I can't afford that; I don't have any kind of insurance.""Don't worry about that.""But...""No buts, I know something about guilt, she can help. I don't think Taylor wants you throwing your life away, and she can help you see that. Give it a chance."Brad nodded, staring at the card in his hand."Reggie owns a low-voltage electrical company. He could use a guy like you, and he'll train you on everything, pay for the certs too. Work hard for him, and he'll take care of you. He's a good man. Give him a call on the 2nd, he's closed down for the holidays.""He's just going to hire me?""I'm sure he'll interview you first, you don't have to tell

Ellen began to talk, bringing his attention back. She was turned towards the Christmas tree, but she wasn't looking at it he quickly realized as she spoke."I was married, for 6 years, and things were going well. The firm was expanding; we had all the business we could handle. We had daughters, twins, and they were amazing. Happy, healthy little girls. Always laughing, so smart too...it was...amazing. But my husband...he was struggling at work. He was an architect. Business wasn't great, it wasn't his fault, the market was slow, but it always changes, that's what I told him. We didn't need the money anyway. I was making more than we'd ever thought we'd have when we got together. We already had all the things we dreamed about when we were college students in a crappy apartment. I guess I knew he wasn't happy. I thought it was a phase, tried to be supportive. Told him not to worry about it, we'd be fine if he wanted to quit and stay home with the girls."She paused, still staring into t

Jesus, what am I thinking? Two attractive women invite you to a party and you're even considering saying no? His 20-year-old self would be wondering how things had gone so terribly wrong. And they were both attractive, especially the petite brunette, Amelie he thought it was. Something about her... not that he had a snowballs chance in hell he knew. She wouldn't have given him the time of day under normal circumstances; they'd all humor the old guy out of some sense of obligation. Laugh at his dad jokes, then laugh at him after he left. And as sure of that as he was, he was also sure that he didn't care. It would be nice to go out, talk to some new people. Feel... social again.Mind made up, he set the alarm on his phone and closed his eyes to take a short nap.It was 7:05 when he knocked on the apartment door. He'd second guessed his decision all the way up the stairs to the 2nd floor apartment, but now he was committed.Eva opened the door with a big smile. She was wearing her Finis

"That makes some kind of sense, I guess. Guilt will eat you up inside."Amelie's expression changed, "You aren't married, are you?""Oh, God, no... not that there's anything wrong with that, but no, I wouldn't be here if I was married. I'm divorced, but I never cheated, would never cheat. Things didn't work out; it's just hard with kids. It's really tough on them, and you spend a lot of time thinking about that. How maybe if you'd handled things better, they wouldn't be going through this.""That's got to be tough.""Yeah, you just try to make it as easy on them as you can, be the best Dad when you do get to spend time with them."They looked at each other for a long minute, illuminated by the light of the tv."Can I ask you something?" Austin said, breaking the awkward silence."Sure.""I guess it sort of makes sense why Eva set this up, but...well...why did you go along with it?"She turned away from him, looking at the TV, a contestant was frozen in time, bending over to open an ov

Doing the right thing works out for a single dad.Enjoy..*******The car door slammed just as I was turning the page to chapter three. I looked up, quickly checked that my son Kevin and his new friends were still playing whatever game 9-year-olds play, then turned my attention to the Tesla sitting in the unloading area for our campsite.Well, the Tesla at least explained why I hadn't heard it pull up. A petite blonde woman and rather large man were unloading the car while a boy looked on. The man began carrying things to one of the empty sites and dropping them unceremoniously on the ground, the woman was being more careful, making some attempt to organize things.I had a moment of paternal pride as Kevin came walking up and extended a hand to the new kid. He stared at it for a moment then shook it. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but the new kids turned to what appeared to be his parents, words were exchanged and he and Kevin headed over to where the other boys were.The adul
