Sloppy SecondsBonus Chapter 3Fallon I lift my dress off my feet, feel the cold breeze as it ripples by, tendrils of blond sliding along my shoulder. His hand darts out and I grab onto it. I won’t meet his eyes, though, as I carefully step inside the small car. I nervously peer up at the…

Sloppy SecondsBonus Chapter 4Kyle I still can’t believe she chose me. That she’s standing in front of me in a white dress, white flowers in her hair, her smile easy and open and unguarded. That she loves me. Really fucking loves me. I have no idea what Walter’s saying. No clue what I’m saying. I think it’s…

Third Time’s A CharmBonus Chapter 1Matt I set up the camera while Fallon finishes up in the bathroom. It’s Saturday. Sunny weather. The room is bright and well-lit.

Third Time’s A CharmBonus Chapter 5Matt Kyle raises the axe above his head before driving it into the stump in front of him. He wipes the sweat off his forehead with his forearm. The red and black flannel he’s wearing is rolled up to his elbows making him look like a fucking lumberjack. “Stop checking…

Third Time’s A CharmBonus Chapter 6Fallon I hold Izzy’s hand in mine as we make the short walk up the brick walkway. The trees have lost their leaves to the cold weather, no longer providing shade and shelter from the harsh elements on the mountain. I shiver as the frigid breeze wafts by, bringing with…

Third Time’s A CharmBonus Chapter 7Jenny I mindlessly wander the grocery store aisles, enjoying the peace and quiet. It’s not often I’m alone anymore. I’m always with the babies and Kyle. Sometimes, Fallon or Mom. I play basketball with Matt when we both have free time. Trust me, I love the constant interaction, the being…

Third Time’s A CharmBonus Chapter 8Jenny“An Unfathomable Pain” TW: This chapter deals with the heavy, heartbreaking theme of miscarriage. My body wakes with a start.
