You taught me how to move the stars, one at a time, until new constellations formed in the sky. – Christy Ann MartineAfter Reese had hung up with Frank from TRAAC, he called Joshua and told him to make sure that they got in and were taken care of. Joshua knew better than to ask questions of his boss. But the next day when they were at the gym, he teased his friend about his crush. “I know you, boss man, it’s those thighs of hers.” Joshua said as Reese watched the woman in question wave at Pinky as she entered. “Me? Those tits.”Reese grunted. He liked the whole package. The thighs, tits, smile, everything. Plus, he had the advantage of having spent time with her. He made way more appointments with Frank than he needed and always showed up early. “I don’t mind charging you for an hour of my time, but don’t you think it would be cheaper to just ask her out?” Frank had asked Wednesday at their appointment about… well, nothing. And when Joshua had flashed his light at the camera, Ree

Experience is the hardest type of teacher. It gives you the test first and the lesson afterwards. – Oscar WildeHank 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. Automatically, Jolene pulled up part of her hair leaving the majority of it down. She really wanted to cut it short but Hank loved playing with it. Her makeup was heavier than what she liked, but she di

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory. – Dr. SeussJaxon was surprised when his mother said that she had a date. JD was shocked and wanted to know everything about the man. The only name that she gave was Reese but not if it was first or last. 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. Laughing gently, she turned and faced him. “My mom’s are lesbians. My birth mother was married to my father but after he died, she came out of the closet and her girlfriend moved in. I could see her dating another man. But Bridget? Nope. She kicked

Don’t let the concept of change scare you as much as the concept of remaining unhappy. – Timber HawkeyeReese laughed to himself when he was seated at the table he had been at with Tru a week or so ago. And of course, the maître de told them that their server would be Andrews. “I have the utmost of discretion. 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

You’ve outgrown the old you. You’re uncomfortable because your old life doesn’t fit anymore. – Leighann HeilReese pulled into the driveway and was glad to see that Dean was back home. He parked in his spot and went to open the door for Helen. She was nervous and he could tell. They walked to his front door with his hand at the small of her back.He punched in the code to his door and pushed it open. Sitting on his couch, watching another slasher movie, was Dean. “Hey, Uncle O- Miss Helen!” Dean squealed as she ran over and hugged the woman. “Hi, did you have fun at the dance?” Helen asked hugging her back. “I did. 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.
