Photo by Roger Bultot It was late summer and for their second date, he took her to the street food festival. Holding hands, they squeezed through the crowd. “Lana, what would you like to try?” “The Greek Jewish food.” They barely finished eating the food when it began to rain. Fortunately, he lived close by. …
The Last Day in Hanoi
She sat in her room. Today was their last day in Hanoi. In a few hours they were going to be on a plane heading back to Chicago. She didn't want to leave. She was afraid that things would go back to how they were between Ryker and her--friends and colleagues--well, director and assistant. There …
With A Little Help…
"How many more photo shoots do I have to do?" Shaelyn asked Gilles when they were finished. "Don't you like doing them?" "I don't because I'm not a model and I feel so self-conscious." "Have you told Ryker this?" "Yes, several times but you know Ryker. Once he has made up his mind..." "Yes. And …

Mrs. Middleton was throwing one of her extravagant Garden parties. Guests milled about, chattering and admiring the rows of flowers which lined each pathway. She stood by the …
The Heart Speaks
"I sympathize with your situation but I'm afraid you don't fit what we are looking for. You have the qualifications but you just don't fit what we are looking for. I'm sorry. I hope things work out for you." These words played over and over in Shannon's mind as she walked down the sidewalk, tired …
The Daydream
It was a glorious day. The sun was bright, illuminating the field dotted with wild flowers and a soft, gentle breeze wafted caressed the leaves on the trees. Intermittently, the trill cries of birds broke the silence. From where she was, she could see the cavity in the tree above her and an adult bird …
