I want to say a quick thanks for all the response I got on the first chapter and sorry for the long delay in between these chapters. It's a story that's been in my head for a while and I just wanted to get some of it out of my brain and into the world. I started writing it all out of order and have been very slow in getting the pieces all connected how I want them.

"What do you think of him," I asked, pointing to an older man with a combover. "He looks like he won't spit on our food."
"Ugh, I hope not. He looks like the kind to talk about his grandkids to us for twenty minutes and then forget to take our order."

I buried my face in my hands, leaning my elbows on the small café table in the coffee shop by my house.

Being married had never been a possibility for me... that is until I met Josh. We didn't click right off but sparks flew anyway. We were both temperamental with chips on our shoulders about relationships.

CHAPTER ONE: ORIENTATION
Wesley Bower looked around the campus, more than a little nervous. He was seeing his college campus for the first time since his visit, and now he was having second thoughts. Why did I pick a school so far from everyone I've ever known? he wondered, feeling disconsolate and alone. Well, no use having second thoughts, he decided, stretching his arms, turning to survey the people around him.

"Miss Lendell, please send in my next appointment."
I stretched behind my desk wishing the stress of the day to ease up. A romantic dinner with Beth would make it all worthwhile I thought as I cleared my desk in preparation for my next new parolee.

As a psychology major, it never ceases to surprise me how deep human loathing can go. Often times the most screwed up ones are ourselves.

It was mentally exhausting, and that's without adding how physically exhausting it was to push yourself every day, into something that felt so impossible.
