February’s Book of the Month: BACK TO YOU: Chapter 14

Chapter 14 “Where are the kids today?” Shane asked as Trent climbed into his truck. “With our neighbors.” He slammed the door shut. “Laura figured it would be easier to pay for a babysitter than drag the kids around Austin all day.” “Probably a good plan,” Carponti said from the backseat, where he was fiddling […]

February’s Book of the Month: BACK TO YOU: Chapter 13

Chapter 13 Laura set the bowl of broccoli on the table. “Ethan, I thought I told you no hamsters at the dinner table.” Ethan puffed out his bottom lip, a sure sign that he was about to cry. She was getting ready to intervene when Trent crouched down to look his son in the eye. […]

February’s Book of the Month: BACK TO YOU: Chapter 12

Chapter 12 I’ll pick the kids up. Laura looked down at her phone, ashamed that her hand trembled as she set it down. That single text message sent a thousand emotions racing through her, but mostly she hoped that the kids wouldn’t try to break him again. Kids were funny that way, always pushing to […]

February’s Book of the Month: BACK TO YOU: Chapter 11

CHAPTER 11 Trent was late. He hated being late but that’s how it went sometimes when one was dealing with Fort Hood traffic. Some jackass had just rear-ended some other jackass at the Clear Creek gate and he’d sat on the bridge over Highway 190 and seethed for forty minutes. He was supposed to be […]

February’s Book of the Month: BACK TO YOU: Chapter 10

Chapter 10 “Daddy.” Trent heard a little voice from very far away. Then he felt something sharp poke him in the chest, right over the scar on his heart. He frowned and tried to ignore it. “Daddy!” He blinked and opened his eyes. Emma stood near his shoulder, her little face bunched up in the […]

February’s Book of the Month: BACK TO YOU: Chapter 9

Chapter 9 “Good night, sweetheart.” Laura leaned down and kissed her daughter on the forehead. Her hair was already starting to poof out all over her head but she smelled clean and warm. Laura paused for a moment and just rested there, her cheek against Emma’s head, soaking in the feel of her breath on […]

February’s Book of the Month: BACK TO YOU: Chapter 8

Chapter 8 Trent sat. Outside the house he and Laura had bought years before, he sat and stared at the tiny orange bottle of pills in his hand. Emily had said take as needed. He was afraid a pill would zone him out but he was more terrified of his own reactions without it. He […]

February’s Book of the Month: BACK TO YOU: Chapter 7

Chapter 7 Trent looked out the window of the backseat as Shane and Carponti bickered about the radio station. He grinned and felt a little piece of normal that he hadn’t known he’d been missing slip back into place. Funny how being around the guys at work always felt…right. He wanted that rightness with Laura. […]

February’s Book of the Month: BACK TO YOU: Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Trent sat at his desk, dreading the ticking of the clock on the wall. Fifteen more minutes and he’d have to leave for his appointment. And wasn’t he in a right old jolly mood to sit down and discuss his feelings with the shrink? He hadn’t slept last night. He’d lain awake in […]
