Rebecca Wells had a reputation in Dundee. Once she married and moved she wouldn't hear the whispers behind her back. But her fiancée kept postponing the date. Josh Hill had always been a thorn in Rebecca's side. Ever since he moved in across the street from her. Over the years they pulled pranks on each other. While she gained the reputation of a troublemaker, Josh was just being a boy. And boys will be boys. It didn't help that Josh was like the son her father never had and with her being the youngest she was her father's last chance for a boy. They decide to call a truce to their war because her parent's anniversary party is coming up and everyone wants the party to go of without a hitch. Josh starts seeing how all the talk is hurting Rebecca, even though she acts tough and shrugs it off. What's with all the jealous and possessive feelings that keep cropping up? Shouldn't thoughts of his girlfriend and not Rebecca invade his mind? If Josh wanted Rebecca to get on with her life so he could get on with his, why would he call her fiancee and tell him of all Rebecca's past unsavory deeds?
Jonas Kirkpatrick left town when he was transferred, not knowing he was leaving a pregnant Shannyn Smith behind because Shan didn't know she was pregnant. So he is shocked to look into the eyes of a five year old little girl whose color was the same moss green as his. Shan knows he has a right to see his daughter, Emma. Could she get past her resentment of him leaving her six years ago? Would he leave Emma? Could he ever forgive her for keeping quiet that he had a daughter?As long as I can remember I have been active. So when I was more or less unable to work anymore I was at a loss of what to do with myself(hence the book addiction) My friends are truck drivers, so sometimes they are on the road 2-3 weeks at a time and home only for 1 or 2 days. Since they live in the same apartment building as me I go up and play Molly Maid some days and clean their apartment. I also at times do their laundry. I usually don't have a lot of laundry cause it's just me. But right now their apartment is cleaner than mine so what is wrong with this picture. I also got 3 loads of their laundry done. I seem to gain a deeper satisfaction of accomplishing work for someone else other than myself. So their apartment is clean, I got three loads of their laundry(tomorrow is another 3), got my dishes done, productive week so far. (NFM)
