Erica huffed from the backseat of the rental car. Why her? Only her stupid family would get so excited about the possibility of seeing the Aurora Borealis for themselves. What was the big deal anyway? She’d seen pictures of the phenomenon on the internet. It looked cool enough, but not cool enough to catch a plane to this frozen wasteland in the dead of Winter. She was cut off from her friends up here in Alaska - no cell service - and was much more interested in what Greg Milacent was doing to embarrass himself this ...
“Houston, we have a problem.” My daughter shot me a dirty look before going back to her staring contest with the hourglass icon on her phone.

I love looking at those amazing blue eyes. They are framed by those shaggy dark brown bangs and an oval face. I can only imagine that he must have been teased ...

It was time. The decision had been up in the air for so long that the woman had to honestly think about what decision she had decided to make. The woman stared at her computer screen blankly, her expressive brown eyes looking over the multiple tabs opened on her computer. She’d done so much research over the last few months! Coming at her book from so many different angles… Wasn’t writing the book supposed to be the hardest part? Wasn’t that supposed to be the thing that kept her up at night, stru...
