Experience is the hardest type of teacher. It gives you the test first and the lesson afterwards. – Oscar Wilde

Hank had come home and told Jolene that they were going to his patrol partner’s house Sunday afternoon. She sent a text to the family chat and told them that she would miss Sunday dinner. Her mom had told her to enjoy herself. Jaxon replied that Bunny was putting the guys in charge of cooking.

JD replied with an eye roll emoji.

Jolene wore a pair of jeans that Hank liked and a pink and gray sweater that he had picked out. She didn’t like pink like her mom did, but he liked seeing her in it. Her shoes were black wedges because Hank thought that a lady should always wear some type of heels. It never occurred to her that her wardrobe had slowly become dictated by her husband.

While she was on her lunch break, Katherine popped her head into the break room. “There’s a delivery for you.”“Me?” Helen asked confused. At her insistence, Helen followed the other woman back up to the front. Sitting on the reception desk was a large bouquet of pink roses. “Eighteen.” Tina declared. “We counted.” Erica explained. “Twice.” Tina confirmed and Erica nodded while making a V with her fingers. “And they’re for me?”“You’re the only Helen here.” Katherine said pointing at the card.Helen took the florist card out of the envelope nervously.

It did not surprise anyone when JD showed up at Ty and Bunny’s house Monday night. Having seen their father without the innocent eyes of a child, he did not want her to go back to him. But he also was not sure if he wanted her dating again. “Bunny, what would you do if your mom started dating a man you didn’t know?” JD asked sitting on the couch with her as Jaxon and Ty cooked dinner. “Which one?” she asked pausing the video game. “What?” he asked confused.

I could see her dating another man. But Bridget? Nope. She kicked

    One small crack doesn’t mean you are broken, it means you were put to the test and didn’t fall apart. – Linda PoindexterMonday morning, Jolene woke up bruised and sore. She knew somewhere in the back of her mind that she needed to leave. She’d heard the stories all of her life. It would only get worse. She could talk to Bunny. She was a counselor at the Family Advocacy Center. Had just finished her thesis for her doctorate in psychology. Bunny would know… Did Bunny already know? Did her family know? Were they ashamed of her? If she left, would her family be supportive? Or would they tell her to go back? Just like the preacher had.“God makes a family. He doesn’t want you to leave your husband. He doesn’t want you to get divorced.”She could still hear his condemning words. Could still feel the shame at wanting to quit. Feel his hands on her as he prayed for her to learn to trust and listen to her husband. Her heart pointed out that she loved him. And he loved her. Most of the tim

She will hear nothing from me, sir.” Andrews whispered to Reese when Helen excused herself to the bathroom. Reese just smiled and let him think whatever the man wanted. When Helen returned, Reese stood up and helped her into her chair. “I was here a few weeks ago on a blind date that one of my sisters set up.” Reese grinned as he sat back down across from her. “Ironically, with an ex that she didn’t know about. We had the same waiter and debated if his name was Andrews because there were two of them.”“Were there?” Helen asked with a grin. “Sadly, no.” He replied solemnly and then grinned. “Tru and I had a good laugh.”“How come it didn’t work out between you two?” Helen ask

    She was brave and strong and broken all at once. – Anna FunderReese and Helen talked all through dinner. He told her about growing up with parents who couldn’t seem to make up their minds on spouses. And being the only boy among all of the kids. She carefully sidestepped questions about her. Until the dam broke and it all came out. “My mom died in childbirth with my little brother, he died a few days later. Dad never could look at me without seeing her. He married a woman so that I had a mom. Coralynn did not like me. The older I got, the more I looked like my mom and the more dad stayed away. The more he stayed away, the meaner Coralynn got.”“By meaner, do you mean abusive?” Reese asked gently and she nodded. “I didn’t realize it at the time. I just thought that I was bad.” Helen looked at her plate as tears filled her eyes. Reese moved his chair around the small table until he was next to her.

I had a blast. The idiot that dumped me had a miserable time. All the single chaperones and teachers spent all night hitting on Uncle Owen.” She smiled up at her uncle. “I so approve.”“I’m glad I have the approval of my sixteen year old niece.” Reese said hugging the teen. “And we’ll discuss it later, go to bed.”“OK, but-.”“Dean.” Reese warned. “Right.

She breathed out. “Then go hang them up.” He brushed a light kiss on her lips before pushing away

After the first few nights of carefully curated smut scenes, he chose a book, and they would read a few chapters each night.They were on book three of a series of five tonight and she was having a hard time concentrating. The light touch of his calloused hands under her shirt did not help her concentration. Nor did his mouth on her neck.Certainly, the bulge at her lower back was a bit distracting.“Something’s on your mind.” He whispered and then lightly bit her earlobe.“No…” she tried to brush off his observation and he simply chuckled
