I'm hooked on reading this, so yes, keep writing it!!!

This is one of those situations in life where if you could look into the future, you would make your decisions a little differently.

Some men really do not give a damn, never care, and forget children as easily as they forget the women they made them with. Others, like Lance, just need that hard kick in the ass to get on the path to growing up and taking responsibilty for the biggest, most important job of their lives.

I can't fault Bella for not risking having her hear shattered twice by a man I think she still loves.

It's time to move forward.

Can't wait for your next update!!

Good grief!!! Collista is a drama queen and a spoiled brat. Fuming and pitching a trantrum in the cafe within sight of Carla who gets off on pushing Aiden'a buttons. Collista could use some of Iris's intuition or at least shut up with her ranting and raving long enough to LISTEN to what Iris was trying to tell her.

I'm glad they made up,,,  and how. Re-directing some of her energies into a little investigative work might lead her to who that witch Carla is and wants with Aiden or at least why the art collection is so iintersting and/or special.

The plot thickens...

Oh, no!! Carla has struck!! What an evil witch. I hope Aidan is okay.

The plot thickens!!!!

I'm loving Kristina and Robert together. His deermination finally paid off. I hope he realizes the work that needs to go into keeping the squirrly Kristina from bolting with the first sign of trouble.

Great story and update.

Thank you, Warren. Your pitiful apology served a purpose after all, just not the one you were hoping for!!

I enjoyed reading this story and its happy ending!!

Thank you, Stephanie, for sharing it with us!!!!

NO WONDER LANE IS STILL SEEING A SHRINK. HER MOTHER'S VERBAL ABUSE MAKES ME CRINGE. WHAT A RECHED WOMAN. I LIKE HER DOCTOR.

Ah, so Imani and Linda meet. What a sweet and unique way of having them finally meet. Imani is a truly considerate, compassionate young woman. Linda is taken with her too.

Great story. Great chapter. Can't wait to read more.

"Linda swallowed the cottony-candy goodness.  She was falling for the possibilities as her mind did a mental arithmetic of Micky minus Rachel plus Imani equaled Happy." 

LOL. That was like prose... and funny as hell. I love how Linda thinks.

"Oh she made a note to eradicating Rachel from his life at hello.  And hoped that she'd go quietly, though likely not since women like Rachel lived for the encores."

Obviously Linda had taken an instant dislike to Rachel, especially for her son. Now that she's found the right woman for Micky, let's see how creative she'll get in making Rachel leave for good.

I love Imani, Linda and Micky. What a sweet, sweet story and great read!!! 

LOL. So, ole "cement shorts" has admitted his attraction to Imani. I knew Rafi would be a riot. Chicken shit Micky seems whipped by all the women in his life, to the point of physically and emotionally hiding from them. Now he won't hire Imani because he's chosen to "hide" from her too? Not by the time Rafi and Linda get through with him.

Love the story!! Thanks for the update!!

Happy 4th to you, too!!! 

Enjoyed tremendously! Linda, Rafi, and Imani... Earle and  Micky don't stand a chance.

I'm curious how Earle and Micky even became and remain good friends... They are sooo different.

Also, did the "wife on paper" knock Micky over the head and drag him before some hack preacher at a 24/7 Vegas chapel to get married? I mean, his money and status seem to suit her needs well, but what did he get out of it, if anything? Where is she anyway?

Spa day is great. I'm glad Imani has made another friend in Rafi. That Linda sure is a cleaver old gal. LOL.

Dinner should be a scream!!

Hmmm... I wonder if Earle is seriously interested in Imani or just seriously interested in plucking Micky's too tight nerves all to force him into admitting his interest in her.

Thanks for the new chapter. I'm eagerly anticipating the next!!

LOL. What an ingenius way of getting rid of Cheryl. How-ev-er, I'm still suspicious of Linda. What? Was her stash hiding in plain sight, tempting the over-bubbly home health aide?

Thank you, thank you for addressing Rachel, Micky and their farce of a marriage. time for NMicky to ley go snf move on. Earle gives good advice.

My favor line was,  "I mean you can be a bore,  but you've got some great bullet points.  You're like...an iceberg. That's not a bad thing.  What I mean to say is that like an iceberg, most of your mass is beneath the surface.  You need to find a way to get the real you out for visual inspection..." 

An iceberg....  what a great analogy. And a cliffhager at the end!!!

The next chapter should be very interesting. Imani's cool, caring, and initiative are bound to impress Micky. 

Woo Hoo, Rachel was served! Linda is so bad. "She's baaaccckkk!" LOL.

I'm glad Imani took the job and went to help Micky after crazy Rachel trashed his stuff. Again, he needs another friend besides Earle. Plus he needs to develop a rapport and become more comfortable around Imani.

I'm cautious of rebound syndrome clouding any growing friendship between them, even if the marriage was already over, both physically and emotionally checked out of the relationship long ago.

Oh, and wait 'til hurricane Rachel gets a whiff of Imani living in the house. Caregiver her greedy ass! she'll probably screech. 

Great chapter. I'm looking forward to more!!

Yeah! My man Micky is showing some signs of life. He's trippin', slippin' and slidin' for now, but I'm confident that he can smooth out his moves. His motives for dating are at least half wrong, but his own Freudian slip betrayed him.

Rachel is desperate and totally misses the point. Has all that shopping and primping gotten her anything? How can she expect to continue to milk Micky like a cash cow and call that a marriage worth saving? She can' so she's chosen to go after Imani instead.

This won't work either.
