Passion Transcends Vernaculars

The Platonic Boyfriend Experiment (Deleted Scene)

Chelsea For some reason my quick response seems to be the wrong one when he pushes himself up to stare down at me. “Do you?” This time it was a question. Direct and insistent. My throat goes dry. I’m not good at this. The bedroom talk. Before or after. Now this insanely hot man is […]

Staff at the headquarters of a construction firm needs calories and packed sugar to get through the bullshit […]
Maybe I Lied (Deleted Scene)

Fourteen months before… Maddy With an exasperated and not a little irritated huff, I forcefully wedged a pair of yoga pants into the overflowing suitcase.

Maybe I Knew (Bonus Scene)

Ten years earlier… Maddy The determined rap on the door jolted me awake. It was beyond midnight on Friday night – or really early Saturday morning.
